Subject:Yes, where's the Microsoft style guide? From:Mark Levinson <mark -at- SD -dot- CO -dot- IL> Date:Sun, 31 Jul 1994 16:36:59 IDT
Also, is there a comparable style guide available for public
consumption from Microsoft?
** This question has come up again and again. At one point helpful
folks mentioned that the Microsoft style guide for writers circulated
underground; then that Microsoft was considering publishing it, then
that Microsoft Press in fact had published it; but I never saw a real
name and ISBN number. Who has a legally published copy and can supply
details? Not the international guide to terminology, not the application
design guide, the guide for writers. Or perhaps some Microsoft writer
can confirm that the publishing never did take place after all?
