Hi austechies,
Yes, we have ventured wide and far, so let's come back to my original
question, which has been somewhat overshadowed.
What is the logic, if any, in our common practice of calling a chapter in a
user guide, say, "Entering transactions" rather than just "Transactions"?
Yes, some of you like the longer version: but can you justify it or give
good reasons for it, reasons that in some way are audience-centric or to do
with usability, rather than based on tradition, personal preference or
backyard astrology?
Cheers
