Toni Williams ... I have a real problem with "The File dialog appears". I wonder if anyone has another alternative to displays, is
displayed, and appears?
WHat about
"you will see a dialog box"...
or
"your screen should look like this {screen capture}"...
or
"you will then see"...
or
"you will see"
or
"you should now see"...
Yes, I know...and passive voice be damned... :-)
