I graduate with a BA in technical communication in two months. I have a job
preparing a small finance company (around 100 employees) for their first SAS
70 Audit. I found the dialogue about "log in" "log out" and "log on" "log
off" very interesting. Someone mentioned choosing a style guide and
remaining consistent. I searched for style guides, read descriptions, but
there were so many...
I am the only writer in the company, and will probably remain the only
writer for a while. The departments I will be documenting are:
programming, accounting, billing, collections, data entry, due diligence,
cashiering, etc. Should I combine several style guides and create my own
guide? Or is there one style guide that would be perfect for my position?
Basically, I'm a newbie and need all the help I can get. Can someone point
me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Christina Dubach
