Overview of the Recording Process
Essentially, once you have started the "Problem Steps
Recorder" application, click on Start Record and then
switch to your software application or website and start
clicking on the areas where you want to document the
process and steps for using it. Keep walking through the
process you are trying to record for demonstration. Each
time you click, a print screenshot will be recorded and
stored in a file.
To view the record of the steps you recorded, open the
.zip file you just saved, and then double-click the file.
The document will open in your browser.
Copy the MHTML file out of the folder to another
location and then open in Microsoft Word. When you
open up the MHTML recording file in Microsoft Word
you will be able to edit it and add steps and details about
the information you want to convey to the audience. You
can even add more screenshots if you like.
So now you know how to use a very simple Microsoft
tool to create step-by-step documentation, instructions,
or software problem ticket files that really convey the
message you want to get across to the reader.
All the best on the documentation trail!
Sit? Stand? Time to get moving
By Staff
Sitting or standing at work? Which is better for you?
The chance of getting Type 2 diabetes is twice as
high for people who sit for very long periods of time,
according to research conducted by scientists at the
Institute for Work and Health.
IWH scientists also found that workers who stand
throughout the day have twice the risk of heart disease
as people who sit on the job.
And IWH researchers, after looking at 47 studies,
concluded that people who sit more than 8 hours a
day experience a higher risk of certain types of cancer,
heart disease and diabetes, and have a higher chance
of dying from these diseases.
When it comes to physical activity level, the opposite
of prolonged sitting is not prolonged standing, say the
scientists. The opposite of sitting is moving.
So what do they suggest? People who sit on the job
should get up at regular intervals to minimize the risk
of sitting too long, and people in standing jobs should
sit down whenever they need to.
Final advice from the IWH scientists: "Sit when you
need to, stand when you want to, and walk or move when
you can."
