Your expertise matters more than your MS Word skills
You do not need to be an expert in Word or page layout to contribute to a directive. What truly matters is subject-matter knowledge and the experience each person brings to the content.
Focus on your expertise
Subject-matter experts can share their knowledge and draft the substance of the directive without worrying about the document’s technical details.
Writing that is accessible to everyone
The structured editor guides every user. No particular level of knowledge of Word or publishing software is required.
Directives.ca handles the presentation
The structure, styles, and page layout are managed by the platform administrator to produce uniform, consistent, and professional documents.
Build your directive with a simple right-click
The Directives.ca editor lets you add the right type of content exactly where you need it. A right-click in the document opens a clear menu with immediate access to the available elements.
