    ... I've had to follow step-by-step instructions where each step is 100 words long ... sometimes there isn't an action in there at all - despite it being a numbered 'step' ... instructions in the wrong order - for example, how to create a boot disk where the last step is "Don't forget to insert a blank disk before you start".
    Similar problem: somebody thought tech writing was simple and could be done quickly by anybody.
