Ashaki,
Excel is used extensively in Sarbanes-Oxley documentation to track the controls companies have for various financial risks. I've also used it to track requirements, project issues, and other information where sorting/calculating is useful. For myself, it's a more sophisticated tool for creating tables. I've also gotten plenty of source data from Excel files over the years and incorporated it into documentation projects in word processing applications.

HTH,
Lisa

This question is on behalf of a friend who had an interview yesterday for a
Documentation Specialist. The job responsibilities include: creating online
Help, writing user manuals, and designing process flows. The hiring manager
stated she wanted to verify my friend's competency using Office, therefore,
she requested writing samples of technical documentation using Microsoft
Excel. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience creating technical
documentation using Excel? In my years of work experience, I've only used
Excel to assist programmers with requirement matrices. Any suggestions are
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashaki
