Extra-ordinairy tool to make working/writing life simpler - again
July 08, 2008
In his latest blog post Ed Rivis pointed me - as he does frequently - to a software tool extra-ordinary: ScreenSteps. If you need a simple but multifunctional tool to write and/or structure instructions, chapters for stories or articles, training courses, manuals etc ScreenSteps is your program.
I've come to trust his recommendations and followed the link he provided.
Of course I downloaded the Free trial, installed the software and......
Found out very quickly I (make that Ed) struck gold! It simple 'dictates' you to take logical steps in writing/structuring your document, your lesson, your instructions and with the 'in-house' image capture tool life becomes so much easier.
Limitless possibilities but one of the best features I've discovered is the Export options:
This specific blog post is written with ScreenSteps and it took me only 3 minutes to write text, capture images, spell check and upload it to this blog! (As a genuine article/post - didn't need to change/add/edit anything at all - done automagically by ScreenSteps!)
A million thanks to Ed again and watch this space (and my new blog at 1plus1makes3) for more! !
Hello, Karin,
Wow!. Thank you for this particular recommendation. I've been looking for something just like this to take the guesswork out of structuring documentation myself.
One more way to Keep It Simple. . .

You're more than welcome Steve.
It is helping me tremendously too with some new 1 plus 1 makes 3 projects. Manuals for online training, manuals for my 'web-design' clients.
Handy, user friendly, straight forward and of course: very simple!
