I put those in, along the lines of

5. To confirm your settings, click OK, or to exit the screen without
saving click Cancel.

Subject: Another Newbie question about procedures


When writing a procedure, can you presume that users know that the last
stage is Click OK to confirm your settings, or should you tell them
this.
Furthermore, should one tell them click Cancel to leave the screen.
These sentences appear in our existing user guide.
For every screen in our guides it tells you that you should click OK to
confirm choices and Cancel to leave the screen without changing anything
(i.e. it explains/documents the cancel and OK buttons).
