Docs style: Changed "click" to "select"

Suzanne Selhorn requested to merge patch-236-selhorn into master

What does this MR do?

This MR updates style guide guidance to change "click" to "select."

The word "select" covers more use cases than "click" (desktop and mobile, other devices/input mechanisms), is used in the Microsoft style guide, and is recommended by @susantacker.

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.
    • Ensure docs metadata are present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure Technical Writing and documentation are added.
    • Add the corresponding docs:: scoped label.
    • Add twdoing when starting work on the MR.
    • Add twfinished if Technical Writing team work on the MR is complete but it remains open.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
