[stylist] Tech Writing: Ten Steps To Make Accessible Word Documents For PDF Production

[Homme, James]

Hi,
I struggled with how much to assume my audience already knows. My manager suggested that I fill it out with short procedures on how to do some of the things I mention, such as when I say to save a template file, even if it is a sentence or two to point the reader in the right direction. Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks.

Jim

Jim,

Although I'm not in any way an advanced (or even moderately advanced)
computer user (for instance, I've never even used, never mind made, a
template in word) your instructions seem logical and easy to follow to me.
My only editorial suggestion is to kill the comma after 'that' in:

c.       Save the document with a file name, that contains no spaces or
special characters.
