Conversationally, I tend to say ", then," but when writing I use the numbered list.

My question has to do with the little word "then" in sentences where it
isn't used as part of an "if ... then" sequence.

For years, I used a comma before it: "Enter the data, then click OK."

(Obviously, an easy way to solve this would be:

1. Enter the data.
2. Click OK.

But I'm curious as to how others use punctuation here.)
