It does give me something else to do when I update them if a task changes, which it often does. Interesting that you'd mention postage meters because next to ours I have a step-by-step instruction sheet I did on how to operate it. There's instruction sheets on almost every piece of office equipment around here.
Here's a funny example of my OCD: once I created a Word template/form to exactly duplicate a "While you were out" phone message slip. Whenever I took a call for someone, I'd type it out in the template and print it on pink paper. No one ever had trouble reading my handwriting. I quit doing that when I got needled about it too much.
