To date, we've published five parodies of famous authors writing Publisher Help articles:

  • Tom Clancy - Major Tamilla Kortovna shows us how to create place cards in a war zone using Publisher 2010's Mail Merge.
  • Raymond Chandler - An LA private eye comes to Seattle to help an old flame use catalog merge before her ne'er do well husband gets home.
  • Gabriel Garcia Marquez - The Colonel gets help from his son Ruiz to create a bleed for printing posters that then turn to butterflies.
  • William Shakespeare - The King castigates Norfolk for not using catalog merge to create the catalog of Royal Wares.
  • Jane Austen - Miss Pemberley is frustrated both by trying to print invitations and by Lord Darlington's negligently high-handed manner.

So, who's next? Answer the poll to decide my next victim...um, I mean subject. As always please write any suggestions for other authors in the comments.
