<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks to everyone that answered my question as to how best to work with engineers who will soon become content providers for my team of technical writers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The answers (18) were mostly all of the same mind – have them use the authoring tool that they know (ex. Word), set up templates to facilitate importing into FrameMaker, and create guidelines/tools to allow them to prepare content that
best corresponds to the required tasks. Some training may be useful individuals with weaker language skills.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your answers actually helped me nudge an existing project in a different direction. The engineers were being asked a level of writing that was beyond their abilities and a negative attitude was developing with regards to contributing expert
content.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again, thanks for taking the time and sharing your experiences! You have clearly influenced how my project will develop.<o:p></o:p></p>
