Everyone is saying the download is available and free, but appears that Microsoft no longer offers an electronic version of the product as a free download.

 

It seems that it is no longer on Microsoft's site, but it is still available from:
Link

 

As a technical writer I am desperate to have such file. However, it is not available for free download.

 

Many web sites are advising that the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications is free download.
But that is not true.

The Guide so essential for Technical writers.

It will helpful if the download is free.

 

Get it at the above listed address, and stop whining.

I wnat know about detail of
XML
HTML
SGML
XHTML
and many user guides

 

Is verion 4 downloadable?

 

I downloaded it from the link, but all the pages say, "Page cannot be displayed."

 

Can someone please share this with me? My email address is ELENI4@gmail.com. Thanks.

 

Jennifer,

You can download the file you request by clicking "Link" in the above post of Razvan.

 

Thank you very much for forwarding the link to the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publication! I tried for ages on the Microsoft download page.

 

Thanks again for posting this link!

 

Thank you for sharing!

 

Hi - I downloaded it from the above link but I can only see the left tab with the table of contents. I cannot see the actual content on the right tab.

 

Folks, I downloaded it earlier and was having the problem described by FLOYD and JENNIFER. I'm on XP on an office network that's, er, rather secure...

Just now I checked the downloaded file's properties - it was marked as "blocked" because it came from another computer. All I had to was click Unblock and the content is visible.

Not sure whether this was XP or the way my company has set it up, but I suspect you guys are having the same problem - hope that helps.

Thanks Andy, I did the same thing too. Unblock the file from file properties then it works fine.

 

Do you know where I can find Microsoft User Interface Design guidelines?

 

Thanks a lot

 

Thanks for the posting of the link. As a relatively new writer, I wasn't aware that MS published such a guide. We have a online style that we adhere to at work but don't use the Microsoft standards.

 

Delia, check this link.

 

Thanks for such helpful comments. I was also not able to see the actual content on the right tab. But then I tried unblocking the file from file properties and now its perfect! Thanks!

 

The "link" referred to in the preceding is NOT for the CHM version of version 3 the of printed Style Guide (2004) but is a link for what is called version 3 of the Printed Guide (1998).

Why doesn't MS make it available on their Web site?????

PS There is a PDF version of the 3rd print edition on the WinWriters/Farkas Web site, but printing is not allowed with its security settings

 

What I downloaded from the famous "LINK", was a php file. And now it wont open. Can someone help?

Thank you.

 

Thanks i just downloaded Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications

 

Hi Rogers,

many thanks for including this information. Needed to download the guide in a rush and found what seems to be the only available link on your site.... wonder why Microsoft have ditched the free download.

thanks again.

 

I am SO grateful for this link. I might not have time to find & buy the book before my tech writer position interview with Microsoft. If I do get the job, I owe this website a BIG donation or purchase.

 

Your website says that the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical publications is available as a free download from Microsoft. That is no longer true.

 

Hai,

Can anyone tell me how to unblock the downloaded mstp file so as to view its contents?

Thank you

 

To unblock:
1. Right click on the CHM file.
2. Select Properties
3. Look for Security; click the Unblock button adjacent to it.

Can't thank the person enough for providing the link.
