Welcome
Welcome to Spectrum, the 52nd annual conference
of the Rochester chapter of the Society for
Technical Communication. Spectrum is the longest-
running educational conference for technical
communicators in New York. This year we have
partnered with the Department of Communication
at RIT to highlight our commitment to higher
education and continuing improvement in our
profession.

Spectrum is designed for anyone who works in, or

with, the technical communication profession—
writers, editors, trainers, instructional designers,
webmasters, information architects, content de-
velopers, illustrators, engineers, managers, project
leaders, marketing communicators, teachers, students. This program provides the information you need
to plan your day here at Spectrum, and get the most out of your attendance. It includes a floor plan of the
conference area, details of each session, and information about each speaker.

In addition to the keynote and presentation sessions, you’ll be able to enjoy demonstrations and talk with
vendors about tools and technologies that can help you in your work. You’ll have the opportunity to provide
feedback about the presentations, as well as about the conference itself. Please take a few moments to
complete a session evaluation form after each presentation you attend, and use the conference evaluation
form to tell us how Spectrum worked for you today.

Our hope is that you’ll leave Spectrum with new ideas, new skills, new contacts, and new options that
can enhance your career and your knowledge of our profession. Committee members will be available
throughout the day to answer any questions you have.

We would like to thank our Partner, the RIT Department of Communication, and our many sponsors for
contributing their support to Spectrum this year. Supporters are listed in the back of this program—please
take advantage of their expertise today.

Thank you for attending Spectrum 2011!

"Moving from an unstructured authoring environment to managing DITA content in a
CMS is a huge undertaking even for those who already understand the technologies
and tools. Without Bernard's expertise, we would still be struggling up the steepest
part of the learning curve. Instead, we have now finished converting almost all of
our legacy Word materials to DITA and are well-acclimated to our new environment.
We are able to author in structured Frame, perform basic CMS administration, and
publish content in multiple formats."

Sessions
Session One 11:00am - 12:00pm

Hannah Morgan Using Social Media to Enhance Your Career

Professional Development The landscape of employment has changed dramatically over the past
Room #2140 several years. It isn’t enough to be a good individual contributor. People
have to know what you can do. Whether you are employed, unemployed,
looking for contracting assignments or just graduating, you will need to
market yourself. Each one of us is responsible for managing our personal
reputation and luckily there are tools today that make this easier than
ever.

This presentation will address:

• Understanding the importance of having the right online presence and
how to get started.
• Learning which social media tools are best for distributing your
reputation.
• Developing goals to purposefully grow your network by using LinkedIn,
Twitter, Facebook and blogs.

Pamela Kostur Treating Content as a Business Asset

Workplace Skills Businesses create vast amounts of content to support their products,
Room #2120 services, and business processes. Content is the face that businesses
present to their markets, and to all those they do business with, internally
and externally. Content reflects on your business and should be considered
a valuable asset.

Unless you leverage your company’s investment in the content you produce,
technical communication will remain a cost center. This presentation
examines content in a new light.

Attendees will learn:

• Why content is a business asset and why this is important.
• Techniques for positioning technical communication as a revenue cen-
ter, including:
1. Planning a strategy for your content and the processes required to
produce and manage it.
2. Relinquishing ownership of your content.
3. Reusing content.
4. Calculating the cost to create content.
5. Reducing the cost to create content while increasing its value.

Bernard Aschwanden
Management Methodologies
Room #2130
Metrics to Document the Cost of Documentation
Metrics help identify the time, money, and resources of any project.
Documentation metrics provide clear and unbiased data to quantify costs.
Learn to calculate metrics, and identify where they can be reused. Define
metrics for writing (including traditional chapter based and reusable topics)
and present them in various ways beyond just a per page model. Know your
costs and be in control of requests for new resources, updates to procedure,
changes in software tools, and much more. Present from a position of
authority knowing the time, money, and resources your changes will save.

Alan Houser HTML5 - The Future of the World Wide Web

Tools and Technologies The current popular version of the language of the World Wide Web is more
Room #2150 than 10 years old. In the time since HTML 4 was originally designed, Web text
and graphics have been supplemented by multimedia, Web applications,
and rich interactivity.

HTML5 updates the language of the Web to more fully support the Web’s
current and future capabilities, and maintains the vision of a standards-
based Web. This session will tell the story of how HTML5 development
began, and will provide an overview of HTML5 features in six major
categories: structure, semantics, interactivity, graphics, video, and Web
application support.

Bryan Lynn ThirtySix Software (11:00 - 11:25)

ThirtySix Software Our authoring solution SmartDocs integrates advanced content reuse
Innovative Technical Products capabilities into Microsoft Word; capabilities typically only seen in high-end,
and Services structured XML authoring solutions. SmartDocs features—which include
Room #2170 conditional text, reusable snippets, reusable variables, and automated
document assembly—make up a powerful content reuse platform designed
to streamline document creation. Now, within Microsoft Word’s familiar
authoring environment, writers have the ability to quickly create, store,
track, and reuse content with SmartDocs.

Harry Porthouse Vasont Systems (11:25 - 11:50)

Vasont Systems Are you concerned that the power and size of a content management
Innovative Technical Products system means that it will be hard to use? Vasont Systems focuses on the
and Services user experience. Harry Porthouse will demonstrate several features that
Room #2170 make the Vasont CMS easy to learn and use for quickly finding, accessing,
and editing the right content when you need it. He will cover Vasont’s
Drag-N-Drop Wizard, Quick Search and Saved Search features, On-screen
Previewing, Workspaces, and Context Sensitive Help. Harry will also show
how the Vasont Text Editor allows many Vasont clients to eliminate the
need for an external editing package.

 Session Two 1:15pm - 2:15pm

Judith Shenouda 12 Steps to Creating a Successful Work Life

Professional Development Yes, you can! Yes, we can! Layoffs. Unemployment. Underemployment.
Room #2140 Plant closings. Corporate mergers. Buyouts. Outsourcing. Off-shoring. Social
upheavals. Ouch! Although the times are tumultuous, there are individuals
who manage to find or create fulfillment from doing work they love. There
is no better time than now for technical communicators—with so many
talents and capabilities—to explore ways to recreate their work, moving
their career in promising, fulfilling directions.

In this session, you will:

• Learn the 12 steps that the presenter is taking to achieve her next
career goals.
• Participate in an activity in which you take steps to further your career
goals.

Kristi Leach Grassroots Documentation Testing

Workplace Skills We will practice writing scenarios to test user assistance on co-workers,
Room #2120 followed by a brainstorming session to share success stories and discuss
solutions for the most critical challenges to do-it-yourself documentation
testing. Kristi Leach adapted Steve Krug’s do-it-yourself website testing
method (described in Don’t Make Me Think) to test documentation at her
job as a technical writer. She tested on co-workers. It was an important
variable. The resulting benefits were unexpected, and the challenges
were not the same ones covered in Krug’s book. This workshop provides
a forum to supplement the expert resources with grassroots collaboration.
As a group, we will work through an exercise to demonstrate some of the
challenges, then discuss solutions for the most severe issues; a debriefing
à la Krug!

10 Sessions
Marilyn Woelk Planning Your Communications to Reach the Goal of ROI
Management Methodologies Learn how to create effective communications to address business
Room #2130 issues. This session will review case studies related to creating positive
ROI. We will examine the initial client project requests, the research and
analysis conducted related to the feasibility of those requests, how the
communications solution expanded or changed the client request, and
other factors contributing to the success of the projects. We will answer
questions about 1) evaluating the types of communications needed
(marketing, training for a measurable skill or process, documentation,
etc.), 2) identifying whether the underlying issues have been adequately
assessed, 3) determining whether the deliverable is in the right medium to
address the issue, and 4) if the right people were involved in the solution.
We will also determine the measurable goal for the communications,
and identify steps that were taken to create positive results (ROI) for the
communications dollars spent.

Karl Heinz Kremer PDF Collaboration (Adobe Acrobat)

Tools and Technologies
Room #2150
Document reviews with Adobe Acrobat: This presentation will give you
an overview of what is possible with Adobe Acrobat and the free Adobe
Reader in the world of document reviews. You will learn how to create
email based and shared reviews, and how to collect the review feedback
and incorporate the comments back into your Word document with just a
few mouse clicks.

Bernard Aschwanden Around the World in 80 Days: The Case Study of the Adobe
Adobe Systems FrameMaker 10 Reviewer’s Guide
Innovative Technical Products From corporate offices in India and San Jose, to meetings at a conference
and Services in San Diego, to a home office north of Toronto, and even to the beaches
Room #2170 of Hawaii! For documentation? Join Bernard Aschwanden as he details
a 3 month project that spanned the globe and resulted in the Adobe
FrameMaker 10 Reviewer’s Guide. This case study explores and explains how
an interactive multimedia PDF document with video, audio, detailed tasks,
and multiple deliverables was created. From a draft and outline to a finished
set of files managed with the Adobe Technical Communications Suite, this
session explores what goes into documenting one of the most popular tools
used by STC members. Find out how the project was conceived, planned,
managed, implemented, and delivered in a truly global fashion.

 Session Three 2:15pm - 3:15pm

Donald Dinero Training Within Industry – Fundamental Skills in Today’s

Professional Development Workplace
Room #2140 The Training Within Industry (TWI) Programs have been called “the most
underrated achievement of 20th Century Industry.” They are “underrated”
because most Americans do not know about them. They are an
“achievement” because they helped America and its allies win WWII. They
involve fundamental skills that every person should master and use on a
daily basis. As such, they are necessary for all members of any organization
to use to be as successful as they can be.

This presentation explains why these programs, developed almost 70 years

ago, are still not only relevant but also necessary in today’s workplace.
They not only produce the classically required results of improving quality,
cost, productivity and safety, but they also improve morale, teamwork,
and communication, which are also of great concern in today’s workplace.
Moreover, they do this without coercion but by building an intrinsic
motivation in employees.

Lisa Pietrangeli Optimizing Translation Reuse in Structured and Unstructured

Bryan Lynn Environments
Workplace Skills This session will present two individual case studies. One will address trans-
Room #2120 lation management strategies in a structured authoring environment, the
other in an unstructured authoring environment. The combined stories of
the two speakers bring together translation and technology.

We’ll answer the questions: How does technology affect translation and
vice versa? What technical options are available for writing teams work-
ing in these two unique environments? What’s the best way to maximize
translation reuse? How do I help make sure that my company’s brand and
message are consistent worldwide? How do I determine ROI and present
the idea to my company?

We will examine the challenges that our clients faced, solutions that were
considered, decisions that were made, tested, and altered, the final solu-
tion and the results. The examples will be relevant to all who would like to
find ways to reduce translation costs and turnaround time while improving
quality and consistency.

12 Sessions
Amy Friend Developing a Quality Management System for Your Technical
John Lukes Communications
Management Methodologies One of the aspects that helps professional technical communicators stand
Room #2130 above others is the pride we take in delivering high quality documentation
and training. There are several approaches that we can employ in our
development process to ensure that quality is built in. This presentation
will look at elements of the Cost of Quality and where we can build them in
to our processes to ensure our deliverables are of high quality. This session
will be interactive. Come prepared to share how you built quality into your
work!

Neil Perlin Hey Rocky, Watch Me Pull a CMS from my HAT

Tools and Technologies If your documentation group is moving to a CMS, you may find that
Room #2150 workflow, training, and cultural hurdles can derail implementation, and
waste a lot of money since even simple commercial CMSs are an order of
magnitude more expensive than help authoring tools.

Help authoring tools (HATs) like Flare and RoboHelp seem unrelated to
CMSs, but HATs have gone far beyond their help authoring roots. They offer,
or are moving toward offering, features like repositories, version control,
review management, content customization using conditionality and
variables, and more. HATs are effectively lightweight CMSs. Which means?

If you’re moving to a CMS, you can use your HAT to build simulated CMSs to
spot problems before buying the “real” CMS. You might even be able to use
your HAT as a CMS, thus reducing disruption and saving money. This session
looks at how HATs might be used as content management systems.

Paul Stoecklein The Latest, Greatest from Flare 7.0

MadCap Software This presentation focuses on the latest offerings from MadCap Software in
Innovative Technical Products Flare 7.0, including the following:
and Services • QR (Quick Response) Codes, which let you bridge the gap between
Room #2170 static print documentation and interactive mobile output.
• Microsoft SharePoint integration, which improves team collaboration
by allowing you to access and edit files on a SharePoint server.
• Accessibility enhancements, ensuring your documentation is fully
accessible to those with visual and hearing impairments.
• Equation support, enabling you to embed virtually any kind of
mathematical equation using Mathematical Markup Language
(MathML).
• And much more…

Sessions 13
 Session Four 3:45pm - 4:45pm

Rich Maggiani The Art of Questioning

Professional Development Questions are the foundation of excellent research and interviews. Learn
Room #2140 the power of questions and what they can engender. The session covers
the purposes of questions; ten ways that questions enlighten; ten types
of questions and their characteristics, as well as how to sequence them
to obtain the information you need; how to write good questions; and a
number of tips for successful questioning.

See questions in action too: there are examples of each type of question
(contrasted with “bad” ways to ask), and a final summation of a sample
interview that incorporates all questions so that you can see how they can
be put together to obtain the information you need.

Barrie Byron A Virtual Success – Best Practices for Working Remotely

Ann Grove Many of us work from home, at least some of the time. However, as remote
Workplace Skills workers, we face unfamiliar challenges for which we are not prepared. Learn
Room #2120 about the tools, the strategies, and the best practices to stay productive,
enhance your career, and earn trust to succeed as a virtual worker. Thanks
to technology and globalization, more business teams are working together
across time zones and international borders. After you attend this session,
you will be able to:
• Assess the skill sets that you need to succeed as a remote worker.
• Adapt your technical communication skills to earn high visibility, even
when you are not present.
• Build trust with your colleagues.
• Create and protect a dedicated work area.

14 Sessions
Neil Perlin Single Sourcing to the Max – Controlling Content for Mobile
Management Methodologies and Other Devices
Room #2130 The growth of the iPhone, iPad, Android, and similar devices and standards
is giving new life to the mobile content space. However, several factors may
make you hesitate before plunging into mobile development.

In this session, we’ll briefly look at mobile architecture options in general,

nd the mobile outputs created by RoboHelp and Flare. We’ll then focus
on how to create and control content so that it can be single sourced to
anything from big-screen devices like PCs or laptops, to tiny-screen devices
like smartphones or eBook readers. Specifically, we’ll look at the single
sourcing features that provide this control, with a focus on relative settings
in CSSs, conditionality, and mediums.

Alan Houser Creating Software Simulations Within Adobe Captivate

Tools and Technologies
Room #2150
Most people use Adobe Captivate to create demonstrations and
assessments. An overlooked and powerful feature of Captivate is its ability
to create software simulations in which the user interacts with a realistic
simulation of the software interface. Software simulations can be valuable
for training, for testing, or even for rapid-prototyping of user interaction.

This session will focus on Adobe Captivate features for creating simulations.
After a brief introduction to Adobe Captivate, including user interface and
concepts, we will create and modify software simulations. We will create
both training and assessment simulations. Finally, we will discuss how to set
up Adobe Captivate projects so that you can easily publish demonstrations,
training simulations, or assessment simulations from the same project.

Nicky Bleiel A Realistic Approach to Content Management with Microsoft

ComponentOne SharePoint
Innovative Technical Products Managing content ensures efficiency in your work and accuracy in your
and Services documentation. The problem is that most content management systems
Room #2170 are very expensive and have a steep learning curve. In fact, many
implementations fail because of complexity. Why not use Microsoft®
SharePoint®? SharePoint has built-in document management features
that you can begin using immediately without worrying about a costly
implementation and learning cycle. SharePoint can provide most of what
you need for content management right out of the box. And acquiring and
implementing SharePoint is not a hard sell because most organizations
already have it and, if not, there are free versions of SharePoint available. For
these reasons, SharePoint is becoming the gold standard for many business
activities, including content management. This session will discuss why you
should use SharePoint, the features in SharePoint 2010, and whether or not
SharePoint is the right content management tool for you.

Sessions 15
 DITA Short Sessions 4:45pm - 5:45pm

Mollye Barrett Managing Translations in FrameMaker DITA without a CMS

Because of its popularity in the technical writing community and its robust
GUI environment, many technical publications teams choose Adobe
FrameMaker as their DITA editor. FrameMaker DITA presents unique
challenges in many respects, one of which is translation. This case study
describes the solution developed for one team authoring DITA in FrameMaker
for translation into 20+ languages. While the solution included development
of multiple FrameMaker templates and EDDs as well as content analysis and
document conversion, this presentation focuses on the translation aspect.
The solution included the development of a detailed file structure (in lieu
of a Content Management System), variable handling in multiple languages
and incorporating application code strings (in multiple languages) into DITA
topics and SVGs. Although the solution was FrameMaker-based in the short
term, all decisions were made with an eye to the future implementation of
a CMS, and could not be specific to FrameMaker.

Tim Grantham Seven Simple Steps to Smart Content

Join Tim Grantham, Front Runner Training’s DITA Program Manager, as he
shows you how to get all the benefits of DITA—higher quality, lower costs,
faster time to market—without the pain. Like most organizations, your
company is probably still using Microsoft® Word® for documentation—
and paying for it in extra costs as writers struggle with Microsoft® Word®
“features,” editors re-work what the writers have managed to complete,
and Website managers and translators re-format for new channels and
other languages. DITA—the open, international standard for technical
and business communications—promises to strip all of that waste away.
But DITA seems so complicated: XML, schemas, specializations, content
management systems… how to get there from here? Tim shows you where
to start, how to make every step pay off, and how to know when you have
arrived… and all in plain language, without jargon or tech-speak.

16 Sessions
Leigh White Yes, You CAN Get Attractive PDFs from the DITA Open Toolkit!
DITA, the DITA Open Tookit and the Apache FOP PDF renderer are all free
and would seem perfect for groups wanting to adopt DITA on a small
budget. A significant barrier to adoption, though, is the perception that
you can’t produce attractive PDFs from the Open Toolkit without a Content
Management System and a lot of expensive customization. While the OT
might seem intimidating and difficult to work with, the truth is that there
are a few simple customizations you can do to make your PDFs attractive
enough for prime time. This presentation will demonstrate some common
customizations you can make to title pages, TOCs, page layouts and headers/
footers to greatly improve the appearance of PDFs generated using the
Open Toolkit and Apache FOP.

how to get all the benefits of DITA—higher quality, lower costs, faster time
to market—without the pain. Like many companies, your company may still
be using Microsoft® Word® for documentation—and paying for it in extra
costs due to writers struggling with Microsoft® Word® “features,” editors
re-working content, and Web site managers and translators re-formating for
new channels and other languages. DITA—the open, international standard
for technical and business communications—promises to strip all of that
waste away. But DITA seems so complicated: XML, schemas, specializations,
content management systems… how to get there from here? Tim shows
you where to start, how to make every step pay off, and how to know when
you have arrived.

technologies relevant to communicating technical material to broad audiences.

Start Date: Fall
www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/TECC.html
TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION (TECC) GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
In an increasingly complex technological world, the need for clear, concise, and plain language
information is greater than ever. From user instructions to online help, website content and institutional
policy information, Technical Communicators acquire, shape and convey dense technical material in a
way that makes it easy to understand.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Seneca’s Technical Communication (TECC) program
provides the specialized training required to work as a
professional technical communicator in a wide range of
fields, including: computer applications and development,
banking and finance, telecommunications, engineering,
health and nutrition, aerospace, manufacturing,
environment and resources management.
Technical writers and content developers have a direct
impact on making information accessible to people who
need to know how to perform a task, solve a problem, or
answer a question. They create product-user documents,
reference manuals, templates, on-line help files, web
pages, instructional and procedural documents, and
various marketing and organizational materials.
This program is specifically designed for applicants
with a degree or a three-year diploma from a
recognized post-secondary institution, or documented
relevant work experience including references.
Applicants will be tested for English proficiency
at the college level and computer literacy.
CO-OP
A four-month co-op work term provides valuable
on-the-job experience to qualified students. The co-op
term follows the first semester, and students receive
additional training for the job application and interview
process. We invest heavily in our TECC students.
Therefore, seating is strictly limited.
