Subject:Relative terms on interface From:Darren Barefoot <dbarefoot -at- MPS-CANADA -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 12 Aug 1999 17:12:14 -0700
Good afternoon,
Amongst other features, our program enables users to generate reports. These
reports can be set to three levels of formatting--from simple,
text-only-style to slick, colourful ones with logos, etc. Currently, you
modify these options by selecting one of three radio buttons on a tab. The
radio buttons are labeled, in this order:
Enhanced, General, Plain.
Clearly these are pretty lame labels for these controls. We're trying to
decide on some sort of effective "Large, Medium, Small" strategy that better
depicts their relative formatting styles, but aren't having much luck. What
would you call them?
Thanks in advance. DB.
