Hi everyone,

I've got a stubborn project manager, and I need help either finding ammo
to shoot her down with, or finding out that I'm wrong-headed about this.

We have a book of procedures, and many of those procedures have a table
inside. And some of those table cells have small embedded procedures.
So we're talking about something like this:

6. Continue with the following:
----------------------------------------------------------
| To... | Do this... |
----------------------------------------------------------
| Some action | Some step |
----------------------------------------------------------
| Some action | 1. Step one |
| | 2. Step two |
| | 3. Step three |
----------------------------------------------------------
| Some action | Some step |
----------------------------------------------------------
7. Next step.

To me, this is common sense. But this project manager is insisting on:

6. Continue with the following:
----------------------------------------------------------
| To... | Do this... |
----------------------------------------------------------
| Some action | Some step |
----------------------------------------------------------
| Some action | 7. Step one |
| | 8. Step two |
| | 9. Step three |
----------------------------------------------------------
| Some action | Some step |
----------------------------------------------------------
10. Next step.

So. Should I let her have her way? Or should I stand my ground on
readability? And if so, are there studies or anything I can show her
besides my insistence?

Thanks for any advice, y'all :)

Christian
