Title: What Is Adobe Waiting For?
Review: The immediately useful, invaluable articles on: procedures, messages, parallelism, headings, dialog boxes and disk, may well survive <grin> Microsoft's break-up. Articles like 'jargon' and 'foreign words' make nice welcome mats to more detailed exposés in _WiredStyle_ and WFB's _The Right Word_. The plugs to McConnell's excellent _Code Complete_ and to the _Chicago Manual of Style_ are welcome and appreciated. Bilingual technical writers can only hope that French and German editions of the MMS be in the works, for vocabulary and localization. Would Adobe or Corel please come up with similar "Manual(s)... for Technical Illustrations". And will such a fine & popular guide to some of Word's offspring prod Microsoft to finally fix Word's bugs? Our wish list awaits...
