A few words on Technical Writing

 My technical writing skills were first developed while in the Air Force, probably around 1982, when I wrote my first user guide. Way before entering the world of training, I discovered I had a knack for writing technical documentation.
I realized that I had a much higher mastery of the English language than most others, and the ability to document technical information that was easy to follow and understand.
Years later, this ability would have a direct impact on my career, giving me the ability to quickly advance from an Instructor to Instructional Designer.
Regardless, every position I ever held since 1982 allowed me to utilize my writing talents by continuously creating well-received user guides, quick reference guides, job aids, and manuals. 

 I am an expert with Microsoft Word, making extensive use of styles and themes for consistency.
I am also good with Adobe FrameMaker, but it's been a while. I was considered an expert by many at one time.
I have utilized the Chicago Manual of Style and the Microsoft Style Guide for writing software guides.
I also use several other sites, including Grammarly, Wikipedia, and of course, Google.
