Every time someone says "Let them look it up in the documentation" - that's a
definite sign of a UI problem.

Conciseness is a spectrum. If it is generally preferable - we could just
shorten the label further and just say "Next". After all, this is the _Style_
organizer  and the control is a list of _styles_, then why bother saying that?

This is reminiscent of the "tale of the fishmonger", as told for example here:

https://mannerofspeaking.org/2010/01/16/a-public-speaking-fable/

Conciseness should be moderated with outer virtues of the text.

In our case, this is a dialog tab which has lots and lots of space, vertically
and horizontally, and our balance should clarity and straightforwardness over
saving a bit of dialog real-estate (and a few more words to be localized).

Recall, finally, that tooltips and documentation pages require their own work
on localization, just like the main UI.
