Subject:Use of "click" From:Vanessa Wilburn <vlwilburn -at- CPU -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 11 Jun 1996 09:34:00 -0500
This is my third help project and I'm wondering about the word "click." I
have seen it used in the following way in several software packages help files:
"In the Go To What box, click the type of item."
Is this awkward sounding, or is it just me? I found this to be fairly
prevalent in most Windows applications. Is there a better way?
