Re: Another Punctuation Question

[NuVision Communications <nuvisioncomm -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Thanks everyone for the feedback. If I created completely new documents, I
wouldn't have any problem changing the conventions they use now.
Unfortunately, since I'm updating documentation rapidly for a customer
deployment, it would drive me even crazier to say *OK* in one part of a
document and "OK" in another. But that discussion is coming...
Did anyone suggest Hit?
