Yes. For example, see the Gnome [1], Windows [2], or Mac OS X HIG [3]. I'm no longer sure about "Close", though. It seems that it doesn't discard the changes made with the window (it was impossible to tell when "Apply" closed the window), so it doesn't quite fit the role of "Cancel": "[Cancel] must undo the effects of all applications of the Apply since the window was opened, not just the most recent one." [1] And though the Windows HIG tells us to "Never use Close for dialogs that have settings" [1], perhaps it's the best description for the way the button currently works. > > So, in terms of the current hyperlink dialog: > > * There should be two buttons instead of the current "Apply": "Apply" and > > "OK", working as described above. > > If one clicks Apply .. hyperlink is inserted.

When one clicks OK, the changes made in the dialog are applied and the dialog closes. If those changes have been applied already using "Apply", then "OK" simply closes the dialog. > > > * "Close" should be renamed to "Cancel" > > * "Back" should be renamed to "Revert" ("Undo" doesn't quite fit the bill, > > as the button doesn't go through each step in history); however, IMHO it'd > > be good to remove this button -- it does the same thing as Cancel, only > > without closing the dialog. > > Back sets the state of the dialog to it's default.

It was impossible to tell when Apply closed the window, but now I see that it sets the state of the dialog to the last applied change. Perhaps "Reset" is a better term, then? (BTW, this button should be inactive if it won't do anything.)
