TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As part of the Win95 interface, there are some dialog boxes that
have what I call "pages"; that is, multiple screens of information,
generally used for setting properties, accessed by tabs.
As I said, I've been calling these things pages in documentation,
but the new contract tech writer prefers "screens." I tried finding
references in other docs (e.g., the FrameMaker manual) but couldn't
find anything (Frame doesn't call them anything, as far as I can
see.) So I said I'd write to this list and see what you all think.
So, what's the verdict? Page? Screen? Something else?
Thanks!
