>
>This is a 4-part fee-based Webinar series 
>starting March 11 and running for 4 weeks.  The 
>presenter is Karen McCall who has published an 
>electronic book on creating PDF and who is one 
>of Adobe's beta testers.  Karen also has a solid 
>grasp on the importance of creating documents 
>using structure and understands how to use that 
>structure to enable the author to readily 
>transform that document to different file 
>formats and keep its integrity.  For those in 
>the know, this is normally called 
>"repurposing".  The series will also highlight 
>how to create documents that are fully 
>accessible to users of special software for 
>people with disabilities.  The ability to make a 
>document once and yet repurpose it to different 
>document types and use it repeatedly in 
>different places and ways is a time-saver.  You 
>can read more about this Webinar series and
