Each step assumed the reader had the background to fill in the sub-steps... but I don't.

I can't produce a specific example, but one step was like "You need to set X up to work with Y" with absolutely no details on how to do that (I raised the issue in another thread here... if I find it I'll post later).

This is not an ususual problem though. Microsoft procedures in their knowledge base articles are notorious for this. But let's not follow their bad example. It may sound like a stupid request, but I'd like to see everything broken down into baby steps. The writer should step back and pretend they're a noob, too.
Well I set up this thread exactly for this , and it worked for me :-)
