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.
While we are on the subject, let me complain about Word 2002 to someone who
cares... :)
I created a document in Word 97 (last week) that included a lot of
"micrograms" and "microliter" references. Being the dutiful technical
writer, I used the Greek letter "mu" as an abbreviation for "micro".
We upgraded to Windows XP and Office 2002 over the last weekend. When I
sent out the document for review, the reviewers discovered that all of the
mu's had been replaced by T's. Ugh!
Moral of the story: be careful with special characters.
