RE: in order to - and localization

Hi Diana,

Do you have a Web link to that research? There's plenty of TW support
for the alternative: "To change the color, select Colors from the menu."
However, that support is based on subjective common sense and anecdotal
user feedback, rather than true research.

Thanks,

Dan
