TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
It is entirely possible for a determined person to create
a 400 page manual with "with graphics, tables etc." in MS
Word. In the days before programs like Quark and FM, we
used to do docs like that using WP software all the time,
and before that, on IBM Selectrics.
This incident says as much about your manager as anything
else. Apparently, you complained about your working
conditions to HR rather than your boss, moved another
employee's "stuff" instead of waiting for that employee
to move it himself after your boss told you the other desk
was going away (presumably, without your actually having to
move it yourself), and your boss still went to bat for you
with another manager and got you a new monitor instead of
dumping you and the entire situation at HR's doorstep.
Count yourself one lucky employee.
