Subject: For Limited distribution??
I am looking for the proper way to state that a document is for limited
distribution. Right now the documentation goes out with a small notice that
simply says "For Limited Distribution" on the cover page. However, it does
not seem to be getting noticed...does anyone have any suggestions on how to
phrase this a bit more forcefully, without looking like I am trying to hit
them over the head with it?
