What the Heck is Accelerated Authoring™ and Who Cares?
Reasonable folk might disagree on how to improve the productivity of workers who spend hours each day working with a word processor, but there should be general agreement on the following list of goals:
- Spend less time formatting documents, and more time creating value.
- Produce documents that are more readable and more aesthetic.
-
Enable easy reuse of content by:
- Copying and pasting between documents and from documents to e-mail.
- Reusing blocks of information between and within documents.
- Easier to update documents.
- Easier to find content in documents.
- Provide “just enough” information in documents.
Accelerated Authoring™ is a collection of tools and methods to enable attaining these goals. Content controls are part of the Accelerated Authoring collection and are the subject of the first post in the Accelerated Authoring series.
