Response Matrix

[mattgras -at- comcast -dot- net]

Anyone have a good response matrix you'd be willing to share (or a link to one)? 



I'm working a multi-section document (in Word) for a government agency. I came in mid-stream... the schedule is tight... and I'm having to invent or worse, re-invent everything on the fly (I inherited a document "template" that ignored each and every one of Word's autogenerate tools -- no styles, no heading levels, no table or figure titles, nothing. I can't begin to describe to you the swamp this has created.....) 



And I don't have a good response matrix template in my "pocket." If anyone does, and can share it, I would be very much obliged. 



Thanks, 

Matt

I believe that's the next step. IIRC, the first step was to separate 
"technical writer" from other types of writers, and the next step is 
to move "technical writers" to "technical communicators" (which will 
include writers, editors, etc.). 

See a quote from Rick at 
http://notebook.stc.org/and-the-2010-presidents-award-winners-are/. 
"He spoke about the process with BLS and what the next steps are, and 
pointed out that this is the first time âtechnical communicatorâ has 
appeared in a government publication. That, he said, is the first step 
in getting the profession included in the next Standard Occupational 
Classification (SOC) System."
