Documents I'd like to see...

["R. Johnson" <rjayz -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I'd like to see more documentation that illustrates
potential real-world solutions based on the functionality
of particular software applications. For example, I?d be
interested in seeing how others have used mail merge in
ways other than creating form letters; or how to create a
knowledge base that enables you to maintain, update or
generate an entire policy and procedures manual at the
click of a button; or how (and why) to create an animated
movie using layers in PhotoShop; or creating CBTs in Power
Point.

Why is there such a dearth of ?solution? based
documentation?  Everything seems to be ?process-oriented?
rather than ?results-oriented.? Reference manuals and user
guides are fine, but sometimes I?d like to see an example
of the functionality in actual use, rather than
?Select-File-Click-OK.? Am I alone in this or do others
feel this way too?

Robin J.
