Hi Helen, I've used Wink before which essentially captured screenshots as a video file. Mind you, this software can also do screenshots on their own and you can link them as a continuous presentation. The best thing - its free!!! http://debugmode.com/wink/ Regards, Swapnil Ogale Computershare Technical Writer | Technology Services -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Helen Haywood Sent: Wednesday, 18 June 2008 11:59 AM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: Developing Training manuals.
