I only use the second method. However, when space is available, I put each step on its own line. (Two closely related steps like you are describing would all APPEAR under the same number.) I think this is helpful to the reader. He/she knows that each line is one step. It seems easier to follow that way, especially if there are many steps. I also put the result on its own line, usually indented or in italicized type. I want the reader to quickly identify that this info is the result. Some readers may not need or want result information. I believe this techniqe allows readers to easily skip over the result (if he/she wants to) without worrying about missing part of the step.

So, here is how your step would look if I were writing it.

1. Highlight the item you want to work
Press F4.
Result here in italicized type.

But what do I know, I'm still a student.
