Cascading Style Sheets - An Overview
The commercialisation of the Web led to demands for advanced formatting control. Netscape and Internet Explorer quickly became the dominant Web browsers. Each had different ways of handling advanced formatting. Cascading Style Sheets are an attempt to return to structural markup by separating format from content.

FrameMaker may be the current standard for technical publication, but that doesn't mean it's a perfect program.

This article will give you some suggestions.

Multiple-File Search and Replace Utilities in Windows
This is a review of some multiple-file search and replace utilities for the Windows operating system. One limitation in Windows is the lack of a good search and replace utility. I've often needed to do a search or search and replace across multiple files. While Windows does have a decent Find utility, it doesn't search and replace. I've found a couple of programs that address this limitation.

I'm not a fan of PowerPoint. I've sat through too many deadly dull presentations by people who didn't know how to make a presentation interesting. So it saddens me to find out that universities have been infected by the PowerPoint virus. At least the students will be prepared for the real world when they graduate.
