Typos to Avoid, Though They Amuse Me

gnomiI'm implementing edits of my formerly-huge book, as instructed by our most wonderful editor here at work. In a couple of cases, she wants me to combine two steps into one. The steps used to be:
1. Open the xxx window.
2. Click the yyy button.
She, rightly, wants it to read:
1. In the xxx window, click the yyy button.
Making sure not to lose that 'c' at the beginning of former-step 2 while combining these steps has been a challenge. I do hope that I've caught them all; saliva's not particularly good for one's computer screen.
(OK, so I'm easily amused; most of you should know that already)
