right on both counts, cc thanks to all
cc in nyc Sep 29, 2011:
task pane Thank you, NancyLynn, for the additional context. IMO they mean the list of styles in the styles task pane. See StyleSortMethod in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.too...

BTW, "Elles" refers to "Les galeries" (not "listes")... but no matter, the point is moot.

Fuller context PREMIÈRE DIAPO (pas de texte)
Bulle d’information :
Les galeries (galleries) sont accessibles pour les commandes à choix multiples.
Elles sont sous forme de liste déroulante, par exemple avec le bouton Police (Font).
Elles peuvent aussi prendre l’apparence de liste à étage comme le bouton Style (style).
Dans ce dernier cas, le bouton Autres (More Arrow) permet d’afficher les choix.
TEXTE DEUXIÈME DIAPO
Les aperçus instantanés (live preview feature) donnent un aperçu du choix avant de le sélectionner définitivement.
Ils sont disponibles avec les boutons offrant des galeries.

Hello everyone, Sorry, I was deep into translation and have come up for air, now that I'm in reviewing mode. I see I've annoyed some people with my lack of context; mea culpa. That annoys me too. This term does refer to Galleries, to answer cc in nyc. And to answer Catherine C-S, these instructions were written by an instructor, as a training module for Office 2010. There are inconsistencies within this large, 50-file project, hence the confusion on everyone's part. I am tending to Task Pane, but the answerer has indicated low confidence. Thank you all for your patience.
Catharine Cellier-Smart Sep 26, 2011:
@NancyLynn Who has actually written these instructions?
cc in nyc Sep 26, 2011:
@ NancyLynn The term "liste à étage" does not appear on the Web apart from this Proz webpage. And unfortunately it's not clear what was intended – the list of styles in the gallery? or the styles preview? or styles sets? something else? IMO the context does not indicate what is being referred to... at least not yet, anyway... though we suspect it is not a "drop-down list/menu" since the term "liste déroulante" also appears in the French text.

Can you possibly provide some clarification by giving us some more of the context?
NancyLynn (asker) Sep 26, 2011:
More context Elles = listes

@ NancyLynn What do "elles" refer to? Also, which Office application are these instructions for? Word?

Task pane

I have a (US) English version of Word. When you select "styles and formatting", a panel opens on the right side of the window. At the top of this panel there is a drop down list that currently says "styles and formatting" but can be used to select other panels (help, search results, clip art...).

If you put the mouse cursor over this control, the tool tip says "Other task panes".

Since I posted this we have been informed that it is Word 2010 which, I'm fairly sure, uses a different way of displaying styles. Thus my confidence level is even lower now.

Thanks Terry
Peer comment(s):
agree cc in nyc : Sounds like you're not using Word 2010. Plus, "volet office/volet des tâches" is commonly used in French for "task pane." [Sorry for the back-and-forth :o] // Yes, based on new context info. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa942864.aspx

Yes, I'm using Word 2007. IN my defence, the fact that it's 2010 is new information since I posted this.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Sorry for the confusion, all, you all know how it is when we get bogged down in confusing terminology in long documents written by several individuals, each with his own style... but anyway, working with me and what I gave you, you helped me, and ultimately the client. Thanks again."

neutral cc in nyc : Sounds like "menus en cascades." And what connection to the "bouton Style"? // In this case, it's easier to say what doesn't sound right – harder to say what does sound right.

multilevel list

Pretty sure that this is what is meant.
I use a Mac computer so I use Office 2011 not 2010, but this is the term used in Word.

thank you John
neutral cc in nyc : Your references prove that multilevel lists can be created in Word, not that the term is used for Word 2010's "style" feature. :-( // The absence of "list à étage" is not good evidence for equating it with "liste à plusieurs niveaux."
7 hrs
when you look at Word's style feature no particular term is used other than 'list'! ie "liste à étage" does not appear//I have a visual idea of what "liste à étage" is (see tinyurl link), and IF it is this, this is called a multilevel list in MS Word.

Staged lists are not specific to Word 2010 (which I don't have on my PC). They have been around at least since Office 2000. And they are not specific to MS products.

'staged' refers to the fact that when you open a drop-down menu, the options you use most often appear at once; but if you wait a moment (or click at the bottom of the list) it opens out fully to show all the options (with the most-used and less-used ones having different background colours).

This quote from the "fuller context posted at 15:21 today:

"Elles peuvent aussi prendre l’apparence de liste à étage comme le bouton Style (style).
Dans ce dernier cas, le bouton Autres (More Arrow) permet d’afficher les choix."

seems to tally with my last note here (at 14 hours...).

Style basics in Word – Applies to: Microsoft Word 2010

Microsoft Word 2010 makes it easy to use styles without having to know much about them.

This article explains how styles work to save you time and make your document look good, and the relationship between styles and two other features: Quick Styles and themes.

In this article
– Styles save time and make your document look good
– Character and paragraph styles
– Styles, Quick Style sets, and themes
– Customized styles

Not much help, except to show how Microsoft typically describes styles in Word 2010.
