Re: Making a critical notice stand out

Both suggestions below could work, depending on your environment and target
clientele.  Logistically speaking though, if you're producing documentation
for a large company targeting a large number of customers, implementing such
actions could be a nightmare, if not impossible.

Catherine, one time when we needed a crucial bit of information to  really
stand out, we printed it large, bold, and boxed at the top of the  release
notes, then printed up a Post-It note with "Important -- read  the Release
Note for critical information before installing"  or some such.  There is a
Post-It notes package for PC available at office supply stores.  It does a
nice job of printing, but of course someone has to  attach the individual
notes to the material being shipped.
