Use of A and AN

Subject: Use of A and AN

Good morning,

In our office we have 5 technical writers that are split on the use of A
and AN prior to accronyms. Is there a rule of thumb regarding the use of
either before accronyms? The argument is to use AN if the accronym
begins with a vowel or a soft constant, such as N.
Any ideas?

Cheers,

Lynda
