RE: What do you do when you don't have anyone with the time to review andedit your docs

Pray for fortitude and find a more supportive/understanding employer.
Seriously, if you've set it aside for a week or so, printed a hard copy,
and reviewed it, there isn't much else you can do.

Subject: What do you do when you don't have anyone with the time to
review andedit your docs

Hi,

I've just recently finished a user guide. I've sent it out for review,
and I
have reviewed and edited it many times myself, but I am at a point where
I
can no longer spot my mistakes. What do you do when there is no one to
read
your stuff, and they still want to push out the docs anyway without a
proper
review.

I feel (sorry David) that they are going to come back to me and nail me
for
mistakes, even though they know that there wasn't a proper review. I
have
worked for employers in the past that expected perfection. I realize
that
this concept is not realistic, but it's still very prominent.

Am I making sense? Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,

Wade
