804.0. "Seek basic guidance" by ANNECY::ROBERTS (Nigel@AEO, DTN 887-4077) Thu Aug 13 1987 12:54

    I apologise in advance for the incredibly basic nature of this
    question.
    
    I've been asked to help a new hire (tech.writer) get started with
    VMS, Document etc.  Unfortunately I don't know the first thing about
    Document either. His particular problem at the moment is how to create
    diagrams.
    
    Can anyone offer simple hints on how to get started creating diagrams?
    He finds the reference manual to be a little indigestible at the
    moment.
    
    Thanks in advance for any advice,

    Diagrams can be included with Document text to create compound
    output, but Document dosen't create diagrams. See the SARAH::SIGHT
    and CLOSET/VAXUUM::DOC_GRAPHICS notesfiles for two workstation-based
    graphics editors. If you don't have a workstation you can use
    DECgraph and DECslide to create sixel files that can be included
    into Document.
