Paper presented at the Second Annual Technical Communication Conference; 1988 October 15; St Louis, MO., Introduction of desktop publishing (DTP) technology into our full-service communications office has presented a number of new management problems as traditional roles and the working relationship between designers and editors are being redefined. This paper (1) examines that relationship; (2) identifies some of those problems; (3) discusses the steps we've taken to manage the application of DTP to a variety of projects - from simple brochures, newsletters, and fact sheets to larger, more complex publications that traditionally were typeset; and (4) identifies areas of ongoing concern as we look back on our less-than-idyllic honeymoon period and attempt to renegotiate terms for happily continuing the partnership between editor and designer.
