    Documenting Stuff

    I am starting a contract on Monday. I'll be reviewing systems and making some changes. Of course they want it all documenting. I am trying to figure out if there is a standard or accepted practise for documenting stuff. i.e. is it enough just to create a folder with subolders containing various word docs with the changes in. Or should it be by date order or something else.
    Anyone used onenote to document stuff.

    Any ideas and advice gratefully accepted

    thanks

    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            Thanks for the suggestion Kramer. It's not anything high level and it's not software development. It's just changing a few data entry practises and ways in which they use a particular software.

              They've probably got a method / document format they like, so it'll be easier to just follow on from that.
