Need to turn over a large project
by leipold 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hello, Sorry for the intrusion on this forum, but I have a large Oxygen project that I need to turn over to someone with Oxygen experience. This is due to illness. The project is set up and involves the porting of about 8000 pages from very old Wors to Oxygen. More than 50% of porting is complete. Once ported, there are some edits and the bulk of the work will involve rewriting a User Manual. The technical manual needs 50% more porting and the testing manual will be small edits but is complete.I can provide instructions on equations but knowledge of equations is important. Other important skills are tables and images. You need careful attention to detail when porting as Greek characters and other items do not always port well. I may be able to provide a helper for porting if you do not want to take on the whole project.Please contact Monica at monica(a)hoffmanpower.com for additional details.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
