Double-click to open dialog" 3) "Page Style. Right-click to change style and double-click to modify style" 4) "Character Language. Click to set character or paragraph language" 9) "Insert Field.

Right-click for context menu and double-click for dialog" These suggestions may need to be adjusted if one of the suggestions in bug 82707 are taken.
