Technical Writing for Teams: The STREAM Tools Handbook

by Alexander V. Mamishev, Sean D. Williams

MS Word is the most popular word processing program in the world. Yet, because of its perceived shortcomings when working on technical documents and papers, many researchers must learn the intricacies of a completely different format, LaTeX, to publish their research. This book helps authors overcome the programs common problems, including formatting and citation issues. The book is aimed at those who write for scientific and technical journals, conference proceedings, white papers, theses, and dissertations.

A good overview of how teams can collaborate for technical writing. It was compiled in 2010, and by now, a great deal of things have changed. Since then google docs usage has been rampant across organizations and collaborative features on MS word have set new benchmarks. I would like to understand if this set of tools has any advantage in today's world. If anybody has any comments, please share.

I hand this out to new employees.
There's nothing in it that is new or even best in class, but it's got a lot of useful things in one place.
It covers technical writing, project management, and using Microsoft Word.
It gets novices started, and gets average users to work together.
