Grammar: should one say
1) "click on a cell to select..." or "click in a cell to select.."? on, in,
or neither?
2) same as 1, but for "type on"/"type in" a cell<snip>
In the TECHWR-L archives, there is a discussion about 'click on' from Dec
2003. Quite a number of the discussion participants don't us click 'in' or
'on'. They just say 'click', as I do. 'Click a cell to select it.' 'Type the
text in the cell.' 'Click the cell and type the text'. I don't see why you
need the particle.
