Of course you have to pay to get the steps. That is their product--a
step-by-step, structured method for creating documentation. Just what you
are looking for.
And, when my brand-spanking-new Visual Documentation methodology becomes
available, I would be happy to sell that to you too! TANSTAAFL!

Jason:
Thanks for the suggestion; however, that was one of the first places I
looked. The site shows what a final piece of structured writing looks like,
but only hints at how we get there.
