I hate users – Part 2

by Ivan on June 30, 2009

I had a query here. for example, the related posts mentioned above – “Adobe FrameMaker Users Get SDL AuthorAssistant for Tech Authoring Adobe FrameMaker 9 users can now download SDL AuthorAssistant.”

How will u rephrase the sentence and remove ‘USERS’ from it?

Photography – Indicating the end user as a photographer makes sense, but how will u address people using products like Adobe or any other similar product?

    Hello,

    <”Adobe FrameMaker Users Get SDL AuthorAssistant for Tech Authoring Adobe FrameMaker 9 users can now download SDL AuthorAssistant.”

    <<How will u rephrase the sentence and remove 'USERS' from it?

    You could focus on the person's skillset, eg authoring or designing

    So, then you get:

    Adobe FrameMaker technical authors Get SDL AuthorAssistant etc…

    <<how will u address people using products like Adobe or any other similar product?

    Adobe Acrobat designers
    WordPress developers

    and if customer-facing…

    That's something I need to think about but there must be a better, more appropriate term that user.

    Thanks again.

    Ivan
