TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Hanlie Pretorius is fighting a losing battle of recommending UI changes,
when the product is in the documentation phase (maybe also late development
and/or testing?)
If the developers are at this stage battling bugs that keep the product from
functioning correctly, then screen layout and spelling errors will likely
take a lower priority.
If this important to you, perhaps you could become involved with writing
design specifications. This can give you an opportunity to create sample
screens before the program is written. The programmers may be happy not to
spend time planning screen design (or at least be equally willing to use the
layout you propose).
