Subject:Terminology - dialogs with tabs From:-Melanie Albrecht- <Melanie_Albrecht -at- MOLDFLOW -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 9 Dec 1998 10:17:43 +1000
I am writing online help for software which has dialog boxes with tabs (as
does the Options dialog in Word). I am having trouble thinking of a good
way to say that a particular tab is selected? active? Any ideas? The
Microsoft Manual of Style has nothing to say on the topic.
TIA,
Melanie Albrecht
