The issues you raise are exactly the kind of thing I want to explain. I often see blog posts that are just big chunks of hard-to-read copy, and it pains me! Hopefully the finished guides will be useful to your intranet users - if you like I'll send you the draft and you can make sure it will be useful to your users. Cheers, Leif Hi Quentin,

So you get single large monolithic pages with no links out and report style writing. Worst of all, it is common that they find the wiki interface not something they understand well so they use MS Word to write the document and then cut and paste into to wiki with no styles or headings etc. A guide that enables ordinary office users to "get it" would be very helful to me at leat.
