RE: On vs. In

[bryan -dot- westbrook -at- amd -dot- com]

It might be too subtle for most readers to distinguish, but I see the
difference as:

"On" means anywhere on, including the menu bar, the scroll bars, etc.
"In" mean within a specific area on the window, such as in the text frame of
Word.

For example, which is better:
Click OK on the main window.
Click OK in the main window.

Does it matter? Is there a particular reason for using one over the other? I
tried to search this topic in the Techwr-l archive, but as you can imagine,
you don't get a lot of useful results when searching "on and in."
