Re: Click only or Only click

What do you want the user to do? Click only on the button, not the text or
white
space, etc.? Or do you want the user to only click? That is, perform no
other
action other than clicking?
Chances are, you want them to select only the button (not the text, etc.).
In
that case, "Click only the button..." is the arrangement you want.
If you want to limit their actions, you would instruct them to "Only click
the
button; do not stomp on it, swear at it, or use the ALT key to access the
function."
Thank you for the opportunity to preach about my favorite abused word!

Here's a variation on the perennial question about clicking ...

Should we write:

"Click only the button in the dialog box ... "

or

"Only click the button in the dialog box ... "

Thanks.
