Tips on writing articles

• Begin by typing desired information into Microsoft Word. This enables the author to get a sense of how they will convey their message.

• "Preview" the article before saving by clicking on the "show preview" tab at the bottom of the page.

• Write in the style of a manual

• Use an imperative voice, instead of first or second person

ex. Use: "Check the box 'my data has headers'" not: "You will need to check the box 'my data has headers'"

First or second person point of view narrative examples are I, my, we, and you
