I looked it up. InfoMapping uses "in the following" (list, approach,
procedure, etc.) almost exclusively. They also use "below" a lot, which I
will not do in hard copy documentation. It's difficult enought to have
reasonable page endings with IM without having to anchor something to
something else in Word. Ack.

As far as the other comments, IM was used to train non-writers to do their
own documentation because they didn't have a technical writer at all. They
still prefer using the methodology for their documentation, so that means I
use it too. :-)

Is this an interpretation of the IM approach, or an
actual rule?
