Instructions Project Revision
Attached are the revisions for my final instruction manual. Changes would include formatting and content which would make the manual easier to read and understand. I edited and added some better descriptions of how Google Docs actually works, and clarified any steps that were confusing. I also adjusted several images. Overall, I am glad that I made certain changes because it makes the manual much more effective, and I am confident that any user will find this manual helpful for using Google Docs.
Final Copy of Instructions Project
I have attached the final revised copy of my instructions for changing a flat tire. I am very appreciative for all your comments and help. I added some more graphics to make it eaiser to follow my instructions...but it was difficult to find the exact images I was looking for. I also rephrased some of the steps and definitions in my instructions to make them more clear. I hope all my revisions have helped make this the perfect pamphlet to keep in your glove box!
I have revised my original
I have revised my original instructions by doing the following:
I spiced up my cover to the instructions by adding eBay's logo, some lines to add a design, and also changing the font colors to match the logo.
I briefly explained what Turbo Lister is and how it can help you.
I capitalized titles to help them stand out (Start Menu, Programs...)
I have referenced my figures within my text.
I have reworded some steps to clarify the procedure.
I have modified the "tips" I included to be the same size font, and also not italicized.
I have made some steps more clear and described a little more in detail to get my point across.
I have fixed the problem that Microsoft Word has when you reach double digits with a numbered list (it indents a lot, and looks way different from 1-9).
I added more images with arrows on them to aide the reader.
Finally, I included a little bit of credits at the end.
I still cannot create a pdf with the proper page size...

Instructions Project Revisions
After reading the comments made by Ryan, I felt that I could make a positive change in my project. A large portion of the mistakes I had made in my 1st edition were format and layout related. I altered spacing differences, made text boxes more readible, and finally updated the tone and perspective of my project. In my last edition I had used the terms we, I, you, instead of using a more generic approach like once completed this should be done etc... I appreciate the comments and look forward to making improvements as the course goes on.
