I'm looking for a resource to quote a technical writer (in support of a change I am advising) for the arrow menu convention (e.g. File- >Open). I was able to find a referenced to an MS Press book (Microsoft=AE Manual of Style for Technical Publications, Third Edition , [1]), but am not familiar with the book itself. I learned a lot of the MS conventions nearly 10 years ago myself so I am familiar with them, but would like a solid resource to quote for backup in recommending this change. Any help, tips, etc. appreciated. Ben P.S. I did try to find the best group to publish this on. The 'Help' related groups seemed to be focused more on programming for HtmlHelp/ etc. than actually authoring the information. Any recommendations on where to post to get the best advise would also be greatly appreciated. [1]http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6074.aspx |
