Hi
Referring to Tab and Page, the Contributor's Guide, Chapter 5 Style
Guide, on page 12 says the term 'page[of tabbed dialog]' is preferred
over 'tab [for the operational area], any version of window'.
The usage example given is: 'On the xxxpage of the yyy dialog, ...
[but], Select the xxx tab and set..'
Also given is the information that 'dialog(s)' is the preferred term
over 'dialog box(es)'.

Thanks, Dave, for this and previous notes. I had caught several of those
mid-numbered sublists, but obviously overlooked others. That is exactly the
sort of embarrassing errors that other people see and my gaze skips right past.
Yes, there is a discrepancy in the use of Tab and Page in dialogs, which we
need to standardise. I don't recall what the latest consensus is on this
subject, or indeed if we've reached a consensus. Nor is that the only
inconsistency in usage that needs to be fixed.

Jean,
I have completed my read-through.
Page 365:
2) On the Name and Path of Master Document dialog (Figure 370):
It looks like sub points g) h) i) j) should be a) b) c) d)
No other obvious errors found.
Suggestions for future updates:
Page 113:
4) On the Page page of the Page Style dialog box
Change "Page page" to read "Page tab".
Page 114:
2) On the Text Flow page of the Paragraph dialog box
Change "Text Flow page" to read "Text Flow tab".
There are several other instances where "<dialog name> page" has been
used in place of "<dialog name> tab". Maybe I have missed some prior
consensus on the use of the term dialog "page" in place dialog "tab",
but it is not being consistently applied to this and other documentation.

2) Click the Link Frames icon on the object bar.
Change "object bar" to read "Frames toolbar"
