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.
Our manufacturing process is a sequence of a few dozen procedures, each of
which is described in its own Word document, separately maintained and
updated. For reasons of quality control, it's preferable not to combine them
into a single document. However, we do print and bind them together for the
purposes of creating a Device History Record.
Microsoft Binder allows us to print them with a single header and footer,
including page numbering that carries across the documents. The Binder file
is pretty large, but apparently more stable than a Word document of
comparable size.
I don't need a TOC or Index, though I suppose I could include an RD field in
the first document if I needed one; AFAIK, Binder doesn't support RD fields
unless they're in the source documents.
Seems to print just fine. Does anyone have any warnings about unseen
dangers?
