Subject:1F8CAB asking for help From:Sudhin U Bhobe <sudhin -at- ICODEINDIA -dot- SOFT -dot- NET> Date:Thu, 28 May 1998 01:00:57 +0530
Hi !
My name is Sudhin and I am writing to you from Icode Inc. I am on the
technical writing team. Currently at Icode we are developing mission
critcal business applications,. which will require extensive
documentation, running into a number of volumes and each volume will run
into atleast 600-750 pages. Our main concern is that users who refer to
our documentation should not miss any area and get into a situation
where they call us for technical support, when the explanation is very
much present in our documentation set. This will require us to create an
extensive and detailed Index, which will cover all key/critical areas.
I am very new to technical writing and not very conversant with certain
techniques.My current task is to create a common index for multiple
documents.I was browsing the web for a solution, when I fell upon your
web site. Please consider this as a personal request and help me find a
solution. I shall be very obliged.
An index entry such as 'Journal' would look as follows if we had a
common index for say, volume I and volume II:
Journal- page 45 vol I & page 234 vol II
I will look forward to your help in all earnestness.
Thanking you
Regards
