TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've read through the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications
many times, but I still am not sure when something is a window, or when it
is a dialog box.
For example,
On the Start menu, click Settings, then click Printers.
In the Printers window (?), double-click the Add Printer icon.
In the Add Printers Wizard dialog box (?), select Network printer server.
What about something like this:
The Add Printer window displays the message: The network printer has been
successfully installed. Click Finish.
How does one document the message?
Thanks.
