Martha,

I think there is a compromise. If you can find the third-party
documentation on-line, provide the URLs in your document. If the documents
are not on-line, describe alternative ways to order the documents. This
assumes that your other office does not have access to the third-party docs.

If your other office has the third-party documents, they may be complaining
because they are poorly written, and they know how well you write. In that
case, you are being complemented but put in a hard spot.

Good luck,

But all the developers and testers (in another state) are complaining that I
haven't documented enough; they want me to document everything that needs to
be installed. How the heck do you handle this no-win situation? Martha
