- I am involved in a legal case (not mine!) and suddenly got some ideas for
- Final Writer and Final Data. I was listening to some fellow Fire
- Fighters discussing their presentation and how it was produced. They had
- their slides produced and were remarking it would have been wonderful to
- have had a briefing book of some sort so they could take to the stand
- with them so they could que all their notes with their pictures.
-
- Final Writer will of course import pictures and gives you great control
- how they are displayed in your doc. It will also do a table of contents
- and all that other stuff. The problem is that with the large amount of
- slides, graphs and other visuals in an arson case, doing the doc would be
- very time consuming.
-
- It would be nice if you could do some of that work in Final Data which is
- idealy set for this kind of work. FD 3 allows datatypes to be stored and
- manipulated like any other data. Would it not also be nice if could be
- quickly imported to FW? FD would allow you to enter and sort your data
- and datatypes and FW would allow you to format and print.
-
- The Fire Fighter talking about this wished his PC could do that more
- easily. Maybe I don't know my programs very well. IF this can be done
- please let know how, if not maybe Softwood should examine how the use of
- datatypes would be improved. If I could print what I have in FD
- (pictures and other visual datatypes) then I would be a lot farther ahead.
-
- What do you think?
