Re: Bad documentation insanity of the day

I know many writers who struggle to avoid this, and its counterpart:

The "Set the Frame" dialog box allows you to designate the frame you
would like to use.

To set the frame, do the following:
 a. Enter the frame you'd like to set.
 b. Click OK.

I imagine legions of users sawing away at their wrists with plastic
rulers, out of pure frustration at this practice.
