Craig,

A few years ago, I was a Documentation Writer. It was a title given by HR types to technical writers who did not work directly in the IT department. At the time I was given the title of Documentation Writer, I was the sole technical writer in a training department. Not only did I write the training manuals, but I had to design the documents using Desktop Publishing software for publication. In many cases, I also published the training manuals.

It's like a jack-of-all-trades type writing position.

Be seeing you,

Will

I've heard myself and what I do here referred to in different ways.
Coworkers might not know what a "technical writer" does, but they all
nod when they hear the word "documentation writer."
Opinions?
