Therefore, it is clear that document is a mean of transporting information from one to another or from one group to another group. This leads us to the discussion of the contents contained within a document instead of the media. Contents in a document will include several activities started on how a document was created, controlled, produced, stored, distributed and multiplied. Imagine the important role document played, within our daily lives, organization and especially business.
