粗体 与否

最近在看一本电子书，这本书从结构到语言都很令人满意，唯一不爽的是在描述操作步骤的时候全部采用粗体字，看起来颇为费劲，例如

1. Start InfoPath.
2. In the Fill Out a Form dialog box, click Design a Form.
3. In the Design a Form task pane, click On My Computer.
4. In the Open in Design Mode dialog box, locate the folder where you installed the training files, and then double-click the Lab 14 folder.
5. Select Lab14Template.xsn, and then click Open.

如果能够仅将这段中的菜单名称和文件名称用粗体表示，而其它文字只需常规，如下

1. Start InfoPath.
2. In the Fill Out a Form dialog box, click Design a Form.
3. In the Design a Form task pane, click On My Computer.
4. In the Open in Design Mode dialog box, locate the folder where you installed the training files, and then double-click the Lab 14 folder.
5. Select Lab14Template.xsn, and then click Open.
   

相比之下，后一种描述方法在表达上主次分明、错落有致、赏心悦目，对照着进行操作时亦能得心应手，迅速找到对应的选项，阅读效率十倍于前一方法。

粗体用来显示强调的效果，可是千篇一律的强调就完全失去了强调的意义。强调是与众不同。

仅以次表达读此书唯一遗憾之处，亦警示自己写作时切记。
