Use "enter" if a user must put something in a field in a window. Do not use type or type in for this. Type is typically reserved for command line instructions.
HTH, TVB Tammy Van Boening Owner/Principal Spectrum Writing, LLC www.spectrumwritingllc.com [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Clara Hall Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 1:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: type vs enter Hello all, I need/would like to give the argument that it is better to say "Enter the information in the text field" vs. "type the information in the text field". this is for an online training course. As far as I am concerned, type is archaic and no longer used when talking about online interactive lessons. Having said that, what do you think? and is there a valid stance I can take to make my point, or is this all personal preference.
