Taming your documents

We are experts at converting existing documents into consistent maintainable form and educating staff to use the system.

We can, for example:

  • Establish a set of predefined styles for your existing Word documents and educate your staff about them
  • Develop PDF versions of your documents customised for easy on-screen reading
  • Web-publish your documents in HTML for your website, intranet or a CD-ROM
  • Convert your existing documents to FrameMaker
  • Establish a structure for your documents so that you can easily move to XML

How we work with you

We work with your readers or users in mind, researching their needs as part of our preparation and structuring documents accordingly.  We don't just produce a catalogue of your information.

We can perform some or all documentation steps, including research, collecting, collating, writing, editing, proofreading and production.

If you want your staff to do the writing, we can design the document templates and take a reviewing and editing role.

We can work with quality, environment or safety management consultants and other writers as part of a team.

We can be 'writers in residence' during your quality, environment or safety documentation process, helping your staff to produce the documentation but empowering them to own and maintain the documents they produce.

We can help you promote the use of plain English in your organisation.
