Using button bitmaps in text

[Ben <baj357 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello Everyone. 
   
  Has anyone heard about the style guideline that suggests putting button bitmaps on a new line rather than in line? For example:
   
  Correct:
  Click the xyz button.
  <button bitmap>
   
  Incorrect:
  Click the xyz button. <button bitmap>
   
  I have not seen that guideline in the MSFT Style Guide and have no luck with Google. But, I have heard that this guideline makes translation easier, though I'm not sure how.
   
  Also, what if the sentence does not end with the button? For example:
   
  Click the xyz button
  <button bitmap>
  to open something.
   
  I know I can easily re-write it to put the button at the end, but would I do that every time?
   
  Thanks for your help!
