Subject:RE: Making a critical notice stand out From:"Dennis Wilson" <dwilson -at- dtsonline -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 3 Apr 2003 10:18:54 -0800
Catherine, one time when we needed a crucial bit of information to really stand out, we printed it large, bold, and boxed at the top of the release notes, then printed up a Post-It note with "Important -- read the Release Note for critical information before installing" or some
such. There is a Post-It notes package for PC available at office supply stores. It does a nice job of printing, but of course someone has to attach the individual notes to the material being shipped.
