A unique, integrative, team-centered approach to writing and
formatting technical documents
Technical Professionals:
* Do you have difficulty producing high-quality documents with
multiple contributors when faced with a tight deadline?
* Do you need a process that enables global team members to
collaborate online as they produce sophisticated documents?
* Do you prefer the ease of a WYSIWG desktop publishing tool like
Microsoft Word rather than more complex software like La Te X?
* Professors and Graduate Students:
* Do you want to streamline the process of writing
multi-investigator papers, reports, proposals, and books?
* Do you spend a lot of time formatting documents instead of
thinking and writing?
* Do you write research papers in Microsoft Word and then need to
convert them to La Te X for your thesis?
* Do you write research papers in La Te X and then need to convert
them to Microsoft Word when embarking on collaborations with your
colleagues from industry?
Undergraduate Students:
* Do you need to write a research paper and don’t know where to
start?
* Do you need to collaborate with classmates on a long paper and
find yourself lost in organizational details rather than immersed
in the content?
