Word for word and no less
Today I got a call from a user trying to set up the upgraded version of her desktop application.....there was an instruction sheet on her desk that she was trying to follow.
User: "I am trying to follow the instruction sheet and it says to select EDIT and then Options...but I don't have Options, its not there."
Me: "What do you have under EDIT"
User: "I have customize and options" OKAY...
Me: "Ok then just click on Options".......
User: "Ohhhhhhhhhhh"
well then I guess we need to give better step by step.....word for word instructions, no less.

Oh brother................LOL
More often than not instructions these days have to be written in “dumbthink.”
have been gone & couldn't comment... based on similar conversations with our users, i do believe that *your user* is cloned (many times) and working for us too!
