Subject:What to call tabs and tabbed pages From:"Judith McCrea" <Judith -dot- McCrea -at- citect -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Fri, 18 Aug 2006 11:34:57 +1000
Hi all,
I am documenting a Windows-based product that uses multiple tabs.
I strongly feel that the "tab" is the little edge piece that sticks
up
(or out) letting you select a page of information which is thus a
"tabbed page". Microsoft refer to this "tabbed page" as a "Tab" but
that's a misuse of English.
How do other writers refer to these "pages"? Is there an agreed term
other than Tab?
Thanks in advance,
