TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
On pain of beating the sturdy steed to an untimely end, I have to agree with
Eric when he says people read procedures one step at a time. Perhaps over
time, we learn all the steps and need only an occasional reminder when a
detail slips our mind, but to begin with, we generally read and do, read and
do until we complete the cycle. Isn't this why we write a detailed manual and
include a ready-reference card with it?
