: Re: Referencing Screen shots in technical/knowledge base articles? when writing knowledge base articles to support software users - is it ok to reference the screenshots I am using with the term "Figure"?

"See figure x" or "Figure x" is the usual way of doing it, or just "(fig.x)". It's perfectly fine as long as the captions on the figures match the references in the text.

If the screenshots are of your own software this is a nice way of doing it, but watch out for third party software that might change or differences in the way different operating systems display things.

(Users' manuals displaying recognisable W98 windows looked old very quickly.)

Online, you might have the option of a hyperlink, too.
