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.
Thanks all for your wonderful responses. They were all very useful and, as
anticipated, contained a lot of ideas and suggestions from liking my way, to
rewriting the sentence several different ways, to using unsaved.
A few respondents suggested I rewrite the sentence with the word "You" which
is not possible, because the rest of the manual is not written that way.
Therefore, I have decided to go with Melanie Shook's suggestion, as follows:
CopyWriter will prompt the user to save any changes before the program
closes.
Thanks Melanie!!!!!
