Hi, this is my first time posting to the list. I am studying Technical Communication at University of Western Sydney. My research project is to understand some problems confronting practising technical communicators. My focus is: Sometimes, when you are writing a manual,instructions or any technical document, you are not seeing or doing what you are writing about (eg. access or time restraints). How do overcome this factor and avoid working in a void? If you have experienced this I would love to hear any ideas/suggestions how to overcome this problem and create effective documentation under difficult circumstances. Thank you Maray Sherwood __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
