Hi Kristy >From the Microsoft Manual of Style, Fourth Edition:
Use tap and double-tap instead of click and double-click when writing content specific to touching a screen or using a pen pointing device. Tap means to press the screen with a finger or pen tip and then to lift it, usually quickly. Use tap and hold if required by the program to achieve a specific interaction. Do not use press and hold or touch and hold. Microsoft style Tap the Internet Explorer icon. Tap Internet Explorer. Tap and hold the album that you want to remove, and then tap Delete. And, from the Apple Publications Style Guide: tap (n., v.) Use to describe the action on a trackpad or Multi-Touch device that’s equivalent to clicking. Users can tap with one or more fingers (depending on the device and the action the user is performing). Don’t use tap on. Correct: Tap Return to move from one field to another.
