In fact, I'm out of the office traveling in Japan right now and was able to look something up about check boxes thanks to the PDF. Personally, I've always preferred Apple's Publications Style Guide but follow the MS way if I believe the consistency will help users. Apple updated its guide in January. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/ APStyleGuide/AppleStyleGuide2006.pdf Incidentally, my mate Bruce insists that Microsoft Manual of Style is an oxymoron ;-) Paul ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
