TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
How do you introduce graphics in your manuals? For example, in procedures,
do you write, "[Do this], and then click Save, as shown in the following
image"? Do you use the "image" or "graphic" or "illustration"? (I deal with
screenshots of software programs and Web apps.)
