Are we using the term "dialog" or "dialog box"? The OOo books vary in usage:
Getting Started and Calc (and maybe Draw; I didn't check) use "dialog" while
the Writer Guide uses "dialog box".
The LibreOffice options use the term "dialog" for some of the options. I
haven't checked the help, but I think it also uses "dialog".
If we settle on "dialog", I will amend the Writer Guide chapters as I go
through them doing other things.
FWIW, I personally prefer "dialog" but the important thing is to be
consistent, when we can. I suspect other variations in terminology in both
the program and the user guides, left over from OOo.

The authors at OOo are in the process of changing their docs from dialog
box to dialog. I agree with you and think we should go with dialog. It
sound better to me. The online help uses dialog as well. That would be a
good list to have of some typical conventions. Maybe we can find a place
on the wiki and list them.
