Actually, am speaking on this at http://www.winwriters.com next month.
I'll make the presentation freely available after that--but I recommend
you attend because there's a lot of info on single-sourcing being
presented. If you visit www.raycomm.com, you'll find a winwriters list.

Cheers,

Sean

I am trying to convince a small, inexperienced documentation team that
it
is a bad idea to simply print out the online help files to produce
manuals.

I am looking for arguments to defend this point.

I would appreciate it if someone could refer me to articles that explain
the differences in tone and content of online and printed documentation.
