If the feature can be shown off with a sample / test file – particularly for new import-able features, it would be wonderful to have a link to/up-load of a test file that we can use to show that feature off to best effect.It credits the main authors who did the work – just add them in brackets after the feature, where possible.

Of course, you know your feature is important, and that everyone should care about the Extensible AutoShapes Properties dialog – but often the guys taking the screenshots and writing the notes do not. Menu ▸ Format ▸ Character ▸ Position ▸ ‘90 degrees’ paths to the elements you changed. So if a user interface element is key to the feature, be very explicit about where it is, e. Target someone who is extremely busy, and knows little-to-nothing about the product.

This is an in-progress scratch-pad of notes to build release notes from as and when we release.
