At times technical communicators are confused when it comes to draft a document. Should you write “email” or should you prefer “e-mail”?
A common phenomenon is searching Google and preferring the keyword with the highest results. Technical architects are however content with Microsoft Word suggestions. But Microsoft Word doesn’t do justice either. For example “click” and “through” are two different words as per Microsoft Word, but “clickthrough” is a common and valid term used to define a series of mouse clicks.
Microsoft comes to help and guide Technical Communicators in this scenario. “Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications” is a handy reference that helps Technical Communicators in knowing exact terms and jargons to use for Technical Documents.
