Worksheets have been revised, and a section on meeting quality benchmarks has been added. Chapter 3: The Technical Writing Process, substantially updated, offers a current description of the document creation process and includes recent thinking on information design. Chapter 6: Designing Pages, has been revised and simplified to make the complex process of page design easier for students to grasp. Chapter 12: Memorandums and Informal Reports, heavily revised, now includes more emphasis on, and new examples of, the IMRD report format. The chapter also includes a focus section with an expanded treatment of email. Chapter 15: Recommendation and Feasibility Reports presents a new feasibility report created by a small business to determine whether or not to market an item. Chapter 18: Oral Presentations now focuses on PowerPoint. The theory of oral reports is expanded to include recent criticisms of PowerPoint presentations and advice on creating effective presentations.

The text-specific instructor web site features such resources as sample syllabi, a transition guide, an assessment guide, and chapter-by-chapter teaching suggestions.
