Can you use the word aide to describe a document?

It's unusual to use "aide" to describe a document.

"Aide" typically refers to a person who assists someone, often in a position of authority. For example:

* Presidential Aide: A person who assists the President.

* Teacher's Aide: A person who helps a teacher in the classroom.

To describe a document, you could use words like:

* Document

* Report

* Memorandum

* Briefing

* Manual

* Guide

Possible exceptions:

While uncommon, "aide" could be used metaphorically to describe a document that provides assistance in a particular situation. For example:

* "The legal team presented a helpful aide in the form of a detailed case brief."

However, this is not a standard use of the word and would be considered unconventional.
