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.
And if you import it into Word as an object, you can later edit it in
Visio from Word, without needing access to the original source file in
Visio.
This can be a great convenience. It can also be a hazard for those who
have to maintain revision control of the images, so UAYOR.
