Generating multiple instruction documents with similar content?
Each product we make has a [I]slightly[/I] different process (different part numbers, skipped steps, etc.), but the majority of the instructions are the same. Currently, we maintain separate PowerPoint files for every product's manufacturing process, so when the general process is updated, we have to update [I]every[/I] document individually.
Does anyone know of a more efficient way to deal with this? Ideally, some way to edit and manage information in a centralized location and have it generate/propagate to multiple "child documents"?
All suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
