The word "STEP" in steps or is it procedures

Subject: The word "STEP" in steps or is it procedures

Point of contention here: whether or not to use the word Step in a procedure
in large type with the step text completely bolded.

I like to just use:
1
2
3

Why would one use the word steps in a procedure? Isn't a procedure always
made up of steps? Seems redundant to me. Is there a demarcation out there I
am unaware of?

Thanks, Ellen
