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.
I got something, and if it's what I think you are talking about, it's a
tabbed booklet.
There's an example near the end where they took some instructions for
thawing frozen bagles and infomapiated them. Perhaps I didn't study the
example thoroughly, enough but it looked to me as if the three choices
for thawing presented you with one method that involved putting the
bagles in the fridge and with two others that didn't put them anywhere!
Did I read it wrong? If so, was that my fault or theirs?
