Hi Aaron,
I have been slowly creating "how-tos" over the past few years to get my colleagues more comfortable with using the database. I type everything into a Word document, use the Microsoft Snippet tool and paste the relevant screenshots into the document. I then use the symbol tools provided to highlight any areas of import on the screen shots.
They are then converted into PDFs and uploaded into our Museum's SharePoint, for collegial access.
If someone is in a pinch and we aren't effectively communicating via email, I'll exercise the same steps directly into the email, and copy and paste that info as a draft Word Document prior to sending so that I can tidy that up and have another how-to completed for whatever step they needed assistance on.
Does that help?
Best Regards,

Subject: What software do you use for TMS how-to's and tutorials?
Hello TMS gurus,
I'm curious to know what software you use to share your TMS-knowledge with coworkers and others who need it. I've used annotated screenshots for years, using a program called Clarify, which quickly and easily annotated sets of screenshots which could be exported as multipage pdfs (think SnagIt, Skitch or Jing, but with the ability to make annotated multipage documents). Unfortunately, it's no longer being sold or developed. What do you use to share your knowledge or explain how to do things in TMS and other programs?
Best,
Aaron
