In general, I agree. It doesn't do any harm to repeat information for the sake of clarity. Although it can sometimes make maintaining the documentation harder.

Hello All,
Hopefully I'll be done today. As a note, I wrote the manual for an
internet audiences who tend to skim (simple (3rd grade) sentences that are
spread out, and? paragraphs kept short), and each topic is self contained,
meaning they don't need to flip back to section x to understand the current
topic. This also means that some of the material is repeated, eg in examples, I
repeatedly show how to move the variable from the left to right via one or two
extra steps and an extra one or two screen-shot diagrams. I could be wrong, but
for ease of use I would recommend keeping it that way.
Regards,
Selma
