Subject:press or click..... From:mike w <techmail_mike -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 2 Nov 2000 09:09:05 -0800 (PST)
MOS says "do not use press as a synonym for click."
So, if I am documenting an ordering process where you
have to choose either a "yes" or "no" button before
you can go to the next screen, would it be "press" or
"click"?
Also, am I correct in assuming that "button" is the
term I use to describe an action-oriented item?
TIA,
mike w.
