This revised version of the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications (MSTP) is yet another evolution. The same principles apply to this version as to the previous versions: This guide is intended to give clear, up-to-date, and easy-to-use advice about usage and spelling of both general and computer-related terms, sentence style, technical writing issues, and design and interface elements. The purpose of the revision is to add new terms and concepts, particularly those dealing with the Internet and the World Wide Web, to the extent that changing world stands still. It also includes more technical terms and suggests that some terms not acceptable to a general audience are acceptable or necessary in some technical documents. Finally, it corrects some errors. As before, this guide is to help Microsoft writers and editors maintain consistency within and across products. It is not a set of rules. It does provide guidelines that have been discussed and reviewed by experienced writers and editors across the company. These guidelines represent their expertise and opinions of what best serves Microsoft documentation teams and their customers.
