Melissa Hunter-Kilmer asked about job aids.
Have you considered using a Help system? This may not be practical if:
* users won't be on a computer when they need to use the aids
* they are using an application that covers the entire screen and
couldn't view both together
* They are using a platform that doesn't support multiple applications
or online help
Just a thought...
