Re: Do you include a sentence identifying the dialog name?

[CHRISTINE ANAMEIER <CANAMEIE -at- email -dot- usps -dot- gov>]

     Naming the dialog box can provide a useful signpost in the procedure,
     but I usually do it to provide context for the next step, rather than
     to describe the results of the current step.

     For example:
     1. From the Database menu, choose Password.
     2. In the Change Password dialog box, enter a new password of 5-10
     characters.
     [maybe a small screen capture of the Password dialog box with some
     asterisks showing in the New Password box]

     This way I can stick with actual steps (click this, choose that, enter
     whatever) rather than mixing in declarative sentences.

     My 2 cents...
     Christine
