General Question Documentation

[RisingFury]

People like you are the reason that developers are moving away from the PC as a gaming platform.

Thanks.

Just for the record, I bought plenty of games, but am not willing to buy Photoshop or something like it for my once in two months use of it. Not worth it.

And as Bj said...

and at any rate, you can probably find a free program somewhere that does almost the same thing.

So, instead of getting Photoshop, get something like GIMP ( http://www.gimp.org/ )

Anyway as McDuck said, this thread is going off track. So in an attempt to get this thread back on track i'll say I don't think it matters what format documentation is in, just that good documentation is provided.

Keep in mind that you have to cater for a wide range of audience and not everyone may have something capable of viewing your document. Eg, not everyone will be able to view a docx format without the 2007 compatibility add on for example.

Various word processor formats can store images in them, while plain text cannot, consider your audience and how you want to explain various ideologies, a picture tells a thousand words and all that

Another vote either for OpenOffice's PDF 'save as' option and PDFCreator.
