Subject:Types and Levels of Edit From:Audrey Choden <AChoden -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 8 Mar 1995 16:00:19 -0500
The March 1995 issue of STC Intercom contained an article that mentioned
"nine different types and five different levels of edit." As someone who
learned technical writing on-the-job rather than in the classroom, I had
never heard of the Levels of Edit concept before. Could someone enlighten me?
I need a reference to explain the different levels to a client who thinks
that an edit means the same thing to everyone.
