I've never had a comment about it, either: "Gee, in looking at your online help system, I noticed you used figure numbers, yet online help is a three-dimensional matrix of related topics, not a linear book-metaphor document, and I found this so contradictory, I was stunned and perplexed and unable to continue! I had to call your help line instead!"</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> Users simply are not sensitive to the issue. </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>I keep the numbers in for a pragmatic reason: nine times out of ten, you don't need to describe a figure to someone else. The tenth time, nothing beats a simple numerical reference for specificity and ease of use.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>--Nancy</DIV><DIV> </DIV></div>
