Hello! We are switching from a mainframe wordprocessing system to a PC
based system, and are paying by the page for the priviledge. I am in
charge of condensing a 400+ page manual before we switch. The manual
contains both User and Reference guide information.
I've got some ideas where to start cutting/condensing, but would
appreciate any other ideas from people who have had to reduce the size
of large manuals.
Help!
