But you brought up the point of the "majority." What skill level does the mainstream or typical user have at this point in a computerized society? Do they need to use screen captures to learn how open a file today versus ten years ago? I doubt learning that is needed anymore. [Just stating the menu command to use to open a file should suffice.]

GSG isn't some kind of 'learning how to use the computer' guide, but let's be sincere, if you have to open a book in order to learn how to use an office suite you are not used to computers, so the book should start from the basic things. But there is an excess of images, I agree. And - those usefull- maybe we just crop them and flow the text around them?

Should the user guides other than GS receive the same treatment pertaining to screen captures for basic tasks?
