Naomi, This is style used by many writers. Look at JoAnn Hackos "Managing your documentation projects" and R John Brockman "Writing better computer user documentation" as they both use this style in their books. I think the current Style Guide uses it as well, as they put occasional notes in the left margin. Bob T. On 11/29/06, Naomi Kramer <nkr@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Sorry to all those outraged by my misuse of the language :-) What do you think of setting out a manual so that headings are on the page margin, but text is indented 2-3cm? Outdated? Sexy? Easier to read and find information? Waste of paper? - Naomi ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
