RE: User Guide or User's Guide?

["Melissa Nelson" <melmis36 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

  The Guide/Manual issue comes up here all the time. We call our User
  Guides "Guides" most of the time but we have one customer who insists
  on calling them User Manuals...they are military and I have gotten
  more than one PCR for calling it a Guide...
