Maes","doi":"10.1109/IPCC.1997.637052","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IPCC.1997.637052","url":null,"abstract":"A typical design characteristic of computer documentation, either hardcopy or online, is the tendency to break through the monotony of running text and to mark particular text segments by using typographical highlighting, layout signals, graphical or pictorial features. One might think that the use of this design feature is the result of computer documentation containing warnings and other important information segments which simply require special marking. In this paper, it is contended that such a view is too simple and even incorrect. The paper presents the results of studies which focus on the use and the effect of lexical markers (in particular the Dutch variant of \"Attention!\") in computer manuals. The first (analytical) study explores the way in which designers use lexical markers in computer manuals, the second (experimental) studies examine the effect of lexical markers on the users' comprehension and appreciation. On the basis of these results, conclusions are drawn on the adequate use of lexical markers in computer manuals.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

We focus on three areas: historical trends and recent changes in the nature of the computer and information industry; recent initiatives in higher education to address this new information environment; and how to restructure higher education so it can play a leading role in meeting the needs of industry and society.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

Therefore, the job of the technical communicator is to design with a clear view of the message consumer and the context in which the message will be received. To build these considerations into design, technical communicators must follow user centered design practices.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

For the rest of us, it is a continuing struggle to get the reviewers to look at the document, to make useful comments, and to get it back to us on time.

Methods and tools for simplifying documentation have been available for some time, but haven't taken off like wildfire. Minimalism advocates a streamlined, action-oriented approach that removes descriptive filler material and gets the user acting quickly. A method developed in my organization claims to produce streamlined, action-oriented material, but actually takes information to a level that makes minimalism look verbose. The paper compares minimalism to the author's organization's method and discusses how one can benefit from minimalist ideas.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

As a result, we have collapsed the information lag, which is the time it takes for information to be transmitted through the world. Collapsing the information lag helps us create our convenient daily lives. Today's problem may be that we cannot handle the vast quantities of information. So, the key issues are how to search and display desired information from and across the vast quantities of information. One of the issues is how to use the Yellow Pages efficiently to search for a desired telephone number, when we use the telephone systems. So, in the paper, the author attempts a quantitative analysis of the Yellow Pages as a manual to show its excellence and also to compare US and Japanese Yellow Pages.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.
