My Original Request
Hi Gang Readers:
I am puzzled by something and thought I would solicid your help. What
is the correct standards for bringing attention to button names.
EX: "Select the Add button".
Would you say, Add button with Add:
a. in bold
b. underlined
c. in upper case
d. exactly as it is on the keyboard
In the area where I'm working, I have seen it all four ways and want to
choose one method.
