Gone is the tedious process of designing the task, pressing PRINT SCREEN to acquire the screen grab, importing into
MS Word,
formatting the graphic, adding all the boxes, highlights and arrows manually, creating the right text to describe
the step then
going back to the SME to ensure the process is right
epiDOCX does all of this AUTOMATICALLY
