Subject: White paper revisions
Hi folks,
I've been asked to revise our company's White Papers and I would like to
know how I indicate that:
(a) they have been revised since the original version;
Enclose the revised paragrahs with a 5% grey-shaded background.
(Use Borders and Shading if you are working in Word)
and (b) revisions were not made by the author (ie. how do I get
credit for my part in this).
Include in the Summary information, after the Heading Title of the document:

Date of latest revision...
Just my opinion, but this has worked for us; so it's "tried and true."
