I’d like to write some documentation for the site I’m working on, for the content editors. What software do you guys use to create documentation and to annotate screenshots etc... ?
I have used InDesign and then saved it as a PDF. Works pretty well for me.

@_goldsky if you need my help.
That is a good question.
There have been several threads on this topic. There was one longish thread where a member was going post the file from his major efforts with creating content editor documentation. Not sure where this went though...
For screenshots and annotating them then we find SnagIt the best
But increasingly we try videos because they are quicker to produce and seem to work for people who don’t RTFM, have a look at Camtasia or do a Google seach for Jing!
BTW no connection to Techsmith, other than a paid up user!

I use MS word, Jing to capture screen shots and sometimes power point to create simple diagrams when needed.
I usually have a walk through of the "user guide" so they know what’s included. I deliver it to them in Word so they can add their own notes and comments.

Anyway, my documentation is always too long...
