Subject:What's it called? From:Betsy Maaks <bmaaks -at- TELLABS -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 21 May 1999 13:56:50 -0500
Hello fellow lurkers,
I'd like a better term to describe the following:
Using Word in the Print or Print Setup windows, there
are fields with preset values from which the user selects
the appropriate one: Copies in the Print window. It has
a field where you display or enter a value, then to the
right there are up/down arrows for selecting the preset
values.
We are using a vendor that calls it a "spin box." What do
you call it?
Really curious about this term, and ever grateful for help
from fellow TCs,
Betsy Maaks
