The latest thread "Generating two different manuals" is leading me to
post another query to the group today. A current project I am working on
just got expanded. I have 64 (current count) areas that originally I was
only going to provide a <What it is> description.
So, I have 1.) An Explanation of the Activity
And I need to add:
2.) The Goal of the Activity
3.) How we run the query or whatever
4.) How to use the data
This is for a hard copy manual, and I see many-a-tree sacrificing
themselves. I am trying to decide whether to make four major sections
and then go over each item and provide a cross-reference to look at one
or more of the other sections -or- to make one section, and for each
item, give the four sets of information and then of course move on to
the next item.
I am thinking that having all the info for the item right there is
beneficial, but wanted to throw it out to the group for another opinion.
