Bev Parks wanted to know:

2. Do you use a preface and/or introduction in your documents?
Why or why not?

And Sue Heim responded:

Nope! Most of my manuals are user's guides. Chapter one provides an
overview of the product, how to install the product, and how to use
the menus and toolbars/button bars. Each chapter includes a brief
"overview" explaining what is covered in that chapter. I'm sure most
people don't read it, but I include it never-the-less (ooops! I also
include one or two lines about each chapter in the first chapter,
which is, incidentally, titled "Introduction and Installation." So,
duh! Does that count as an introduction?)
===================
You're using just the method Ms. Thoma says that she uses (puts
the intro info in first chapter).
