You're right about this -- I really need to explore the online QRG format. When I upgrade from CS3 to CS4, I'll experiment with the web/flash production capabilities that InDesign offers. In the meantime, here's a great site that has some quick reference type material.

Tom, may I echo the request for something web-based? I am involved in these discussions RIGHT NOW! Just as the RSS hit my inbox, I was writing one of three such guides, and need all the help I can get!

How about delivering a Live Meeting webcast on this information?

I agree with Tammy and Jason, being able to see this presentation online would be really terrific. I currently struggle to create quick reference documents and tips for adjusting the layout would be a big help. I am limited to using Microsoft Word and a PDF converter but seeing your ideas would be most appreciated.

I updated the location information. I’m not sure I’ll be able to record or videotape it, but I may make a separate podcast of it later that will include a visual screencast component.

Tom, I’d like to second that request for a video for those of us who cannot make it to see your presentation this evening. I know you’ve been working on these Quick Ref. Guides lately and I’m very interested in learning more. Either way, best of luck to you and Ben on the presentation.

If the presentation will be videotaped, I’d love to see it online. I think having Quick Reference Guides would be a great way to go for our software given customer comments.
