Technical writing was not something I set out to do intentionally. I gravitated toward it because writing has always come easy to me, and, they tell me I'm good at it (I think so, but then everyone and their dogs think they are good writers ;) I also had the aptitude to grasp technical concepts. I can assure you, I'm not in this business because of my social skills ;) Dana W. *************************** Dana Worley Software Product Manager/Manager, Software Support Group Campbell Scientific, Inc.
