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.
I can't come up with a single word, but the phrase that comes to mind is:
"The nominally unsupported procedure you can use to achieve the result that
the software should provide but doesn't."
What's wrong with "workaround?" Most readers of a troubleshooting guide will
know what it means.

I'm editing and redesigning a troubleshooting guide. What's another word for
"workaround"?
Thanks,
Susana
