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.
In the context of software configuration, is the term "wizard"
trademarked by Microsoft, or anyone else? I'm working with a partner company that
doesn't use the term in their documentation because, as they put it, " it's
better to be safe than sorry."
We currently use it in our documentation when referring to our "Account
Setup Wizard".
