Jeez I wish the IRS would just...


IRS - my RFE
I'm trying to orient myself in your 538 documentation and failing to some extent because I can't see a running table of contents on the left. Come on, fix that. 
How you can fix it: Get the new Acrobat Reader.
I'll warn you that it is expensive but don't blame me, blame Adobe. Anyhow, get it because it installs a fabulous macro into Microsoft Word which allows you (exactly like FrameMaker) to export bookmarks created through your styles (called paragraph tags in FrameMaker). This feature makes me smile every time it works. It has the feel of a kludge but it isn't, it really works beautifully.

For the sake of platform standarization, please drop all the Em——dashes and En––dashes in your document names. For example 1040––EZ. In some flavors of Linux even a space in a filename can stop an online help project from distributing as multi-platform.

As you move into single-sourcing your documentation, before working hard to compensate for the M-dash, remember it restrict your availability to search engines.

You can let go, just breathe. It won't hurt a bit and even if a few offset printers who will have to work hard on the first production, it is worth the shift. remember, we are the Claude Garamond's of our day!.

Wish to say something (tax related) to the IRS or if you are from the IRS and want to say something to me that I can publish on this page: Let me know.
