Subject:Educating our Company From:Helen Hegelheimer <hxh -at- FORMTEK -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 19 Oct 1995 16:04:52 -0400
In the last few weeks, there has been an impressive thread about
how we as Technical Writers must continually educate other departments
about our writing process.
Just like Murphy's Law, I deleted them and yesterday my boss asked my
department to document our processes with a particular attention to
educating the "rest of the company". And, can you do it my next week.
Is there anyone out there with the foresight to have saved some of those
constructive comments on education ?
If so, please b/c me -
