RE: Numbering Systems for Technical Service Manuals

Excellent post Dan. Your post was exactly what I wanted (but was too lazy) to post as soon as I saw the original post about numbering. Far too often I see "technical" writers complaining about layout, format, or organisation because they simply "don't like it" or "it doesn't look right". And

You'll need to install the version of WWP SE that came with FM 7.2. An older version of WWP does not work with a newer version of FM, generally.

Word has its place, but if you want to have a structured/disciplined approach to document creation, Frame wins hands down. There really is no comparison. I tried using WWP for Word, but I was so frustrated trying to set up the Word document for WWP that I gave up and went back to Frame. And I m
