Re: Tab and Subtab?

[cjcbrown -at- comcast -dot- net]

We have the same model too and I avoid using "sub-tab".ÂÂ It's so UI-speak. 

I have found that people follow along ok if I totally sidestep the sub tab issue. 



In your example I would use 



"From the Standard tab, select the Import tab." 



Or "select the tab Standard, then Âunder that, Import".

Thanks, Chris. So, are you saying that, in my example, the sentence would be "Open the Standard view and select the Import subview"?

We have the exact same model and use View and Subview.
