Hello,
Welcome to my website. My name is Ivan Walsh and I’ve been involved in writing technical documents for over 15 years. This site shares some of the things I’ve found when using Word over the years. Hopefully, you’ll find it useful.
When I started out, I used Lotus 123 not Excel, WordPerfect, not Word, and Windows actually had windows. I’ve probably written thousands of pages of tech docs in that time, though I’ve also been involved in disciplines such as business analysis, proposal development, information architecture and business development here in China.
Who’ve you work for?
