Subject:FW: Styles for User Guides From:"Moore, Tracey" <TMoore -at- PARKERVISION -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 5 Apr 1999 14:00:12 -0400
Sorry to chime in so late. . .
And if the client didn't ask you to create the template, but you had to
create a template anyway because they didn't have one? I mean, you can't
create a user guide without creating a style guide/template for it. . .
I think it would be stupid to not change the look of the template
somewhat, just so it doesn't look exactly alike.
<<While it may be perfectly legal to re-use a template that a client
paid you
to create, I think it is unethical as all get out.>>
