# Select vs. Choose vs. Click vs. Press

**Choose** is about making a decision in general. **Select** is about marking text, cells, and similar items that will be subject to a user action (such as copying text), and also about picking options from a list. **Click** is about mouse actions — for more information, see [Click vs. Click On vs. Click At](click.md). **Press** is about keyboard actions.

::: important

- DO NOT use the verb **Choose** as a synonym for **Click**.
- DO NOT use the verb **Pick** as a synonym for neither **Choose** nor **Select**. 
- DO NOT use the verb **Highlight** as a synonym for **Select**. Use **Highlight** only to describe product features such as text highlighters that provide visual emphasis. 
- When it comes to clicking buttons in a wizard, omit the definite article and the noun **button** before and after the verb **Click**. For example, use *click OK* instead of *click the OK button*.

  The only exception could be a situation where you instruct users to click a button that has no text on it (it has an image instead). In this case, use the noun **icon** and add a description for it; DO NOT add any actual icon pictures inline with text.
