RE: What do you call something?

["Technical Writing Plus" <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

'Callout' was going to be what I would have suggested, but someone else beat
me to it. 'Speech bubble' and 'thought bubble' are two different types of
callouts, as I see it.

Thanks. "Callout" works great, so I can state something like red callout
indicates this and point cursor on the callout to view the warning, a green
callout, etc.

Y'all get the drift. Dialogue bubble or dialogue balloon just wasn't getting
it for me!..
