RE: waking up to the world of Technical Writing

It's getting to be that a quarter of my day is devoted to UI issues
almost exactly like you listed below, and in addition, usability issues
on screen/window/dialog layout.

I think you're assuming too narrow a definition of technical
communication, even if we limit the discussion to software-related
technical communication.

The fortunate tech writers are increasingly involved in development of
the UI--at least in terms of command names, object labels, tool tips,
and the like; sometimes even in workflow design.
