Hi,
I'm having a problem with correct wording. I'm trying to convert
a passive-voice document to active voice. Here's the phrase I'm
having trouble with:
While the Summary window is displayed, you can double-click
any entry shown in the Summary window. This action causes
the system to display a new Job View window for this job.
Its actually (I think) the second sentence that is causing the
problem. The document consists of many such sentences and
I'm at a loss as to what to do.
