Hi,
Well,
As a budding technical writer,
I have been paying some serious attention to various authoring tools which aid in writing. The first thing to focuss attention was obviously the software which we have all been using for atleast last decade.. MS-Word.
At the end of exploring it,
I have come out thoroughly impressed with this power-packed software... One can safely say that a normal user uses hardly 10% of its functions.. an expert may use 20 % and a real power user may claim a 30- or 40% proficiency in all its features.. not more than that !!
Almost everything you can think of using has been incorporated into the software... right from automated Table of Contents to automated Indexing...
I urge you that whenever you have free time, visit Help section of MS_Word and go thru its index Help Contents.. there's enough stuff there to keep you busy fror at least a month.
Apart from the joy of exploration and learning on your own, this exercise will practically help you in drafting more elegant writing material.

Actually,
I am thinking of sending off a appreciative mail to MS-Office team for the excellent job they have done.
Hail Microsoft !!
