Tech Writing - Terminology For Screen Component Enclosed in Box
Hi,
In the fictitious screenshot below, (which contains only two fields, but my live screenshot for customers has six), and each option is more complex than my example.
I enclosed the field names in black boxes to make them stand out. Accordingly, I wrote:
"This option consists of six settings, boxed in the above screenshot."
But, is "boxed" the correct word here?
Thanks,
Steve

You're welcome! Funny how "circled" seems perfectly fine as a verb there, but "squared" or "rectangled" doesn't do it for me. :)

Trangled?? :)
Yeah, I guess this go on forever..."ovaled"..."elli psed". :)

Btw, I suppose I could've used circles in the screenshot and then wrote "circled in the above screenshot"; however, we don't use circles anywhere in the doc suite, so I need to be stylistically consistent. :)
Thank you for your quick response!
