With so many software products to its credit, Microsoft can't help but have an opinion on computer terms and usage. Many topnotch technical companies, writers, and editors consider the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications to be a standard in the industry. Technical writers and editors often refer to it when they can't find an answer in The Chicago Manual of Style or when researching appropriate style issues to include in their company's in-house style manual.

While this manual of style can't possibly list everything that is created by Microsoft, it does advise how to use and spell both general and computer-related terms and takes a stand on sticky style, technical writing, and design and interface issues. This second edition has been updated to include significant changes in Internet terminology and usage. Alphabetically tabbed pages make it easy to locate topics of interest. A useful appendix defines acronyms and abbreviations and shares any special style rules associated with them. Another appendix lists keyboard characters and the correct names that should be used to describe each one. The enclosed CD-ROM contains an electronic version of the book along with a copy of the Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary. --Cristina Vaamonde

I expected this book to be similar to the Chicago Manual of Style with a Silicon Valley twist. It is nothing like the Chicago Manual of Style. This book is a glossary of very basic words such as bytes. Many of the terms are in my Webster dictionary. I do not recommend this... book. (Buy a big dictionary instead.)

If you've ever stumbled over technical word usage, such as "pulldown" versus "dropdown" menus or "choose" versus "select," this book is for you. It is yet another example of why Microsoft is at the forefront of software development: they make it easier for others to develop high-quality, Windows-compatible products.

I rated this book so highly for two reasons. First, the dictionary format makes it very easy to look up words. Access is everything when you're in a hurry. Second, the information is presented effectively and efficiently--lots of visuals and examples with succinct explanations--just what you want in a book of this type.

In short, it is an essential reference for technical communicators who write books and online help for Windows-based applications. Good luck trying to uphold standards without it.

Reference and more. Useful. But there is a quaintness to some of its opinions. For example, "multitasking" is not to be used as a verb ("it is jargon"), do not say "grow your business," do not use "peripheral" as a noun, to refer to computer accessories, etc. My favorite entry, especially fun to find in light of Microsoft's legal problems arising in part from its relationship to Netscape Navigator, is this Orwellian directive, found on p. 185: "Navigate. Avoid the verb 'navigate' to refer to moving from site to site, page to page within a site, or link to link on the Internet.(...) Instead, use 'explore' to mean looking for sites or pages generally..."

A useful book in many ways.
