type vs enter

[Sharon Burton]

Will your audience be able to make that leap? This one is all about
audience. If they are fairly sophisticated, then enter. If not, then type.

Subject: type vs enter

Hello all,

I need/would like to give the argument that it is better to say "Enter the
information in the text field"
vs. "type the information in the text field".  this is for an online
training course.

As far as I am concerned, type is archaic and no longer used when talking
about online interactive lessons.  Having said that, what do you think?  and
is there a valid stance I can take to make my point, or is this all personal
preference.
