Abstract
This paper discusses the role technical writers can play in interface review and design and the collaboration that ensues between technical writers and software engineers. The objective is to demonstrate a proper and effective wizard design that is simple to use and a pleasure to document. The paper presents the Microsoft for Windows interface standards for wizards and presents before and after snapshots of proposed user interface changes to Speedware´s Esperant product
