The Microsoft style manual is very helpful in technical writing and editing. Many corporations adapt elements of these to produce their own, distinctive style guides.

Resources - comparing HATSDuring my research on HATS, I found these great resources: List of available HATs for help authors who use MS Word at: List of reviews on many of these HATS: I’ve also gotten good insight by emailing authors of software reviews.
