The MS Style Guide suggest eliminating the words "on" and "buttons"
alltogether. Like so:
1. Click Postings to display the Postings dialog box.
To help clarify that "Postings" is a button, you could bold button names
consistently. Just make sure to mention your conventions in the "About This
Guide" section.
