John asked:
>>What do you think about instructions that flow around a screen grab that is
right in the middle of the page? Personally, I don't like having my
reading
eye bang into a screen grab while I'm trying to read instructions. It
breaks
my concentration and my eye tends to roam all over the page.
I'd rather have text on one line, a screen grab by itself on the next
line,<<
I place my screen grabs on the left and corresponding text to the right
- it saves a lot of space, particularly if you cascade the images.
