Subject: From and To?
I am writing procedures for nontechnical SMEs about how to create
hyperlinks,
cross-references, and bookmarks in Word. I want simple terms to use to refer
to
the document that the link is in and the document to which it is linked.
I tried Departure Document and Destination Document, but they sound too
techie.
Source and Destination also seem too techie. I'm thinking of referring to
them
as the From Document and the To Document.
Does anyone have any suggestions for simple, clear, intuitive terms?
