No, I suppose you can't. The question then becomes, what are you willing
to do with someone else's documents without their permission?

Now flip it around. Imagine that you wrote a how-to book about tech
writing in your spare time, and submitted it to a publishing house. One
of their editors worked on it, and that same editor is looking for a
job. How do you feel about the editor using samples of your work without
your permission?

Dan, what do you do in cases where you already have a job, are looking
for another, and want to use your current work as an example? Can't
exactly ask the employer for permission then.
