EXERCISE Redesign the pull-down menu Format in MS Word (see Table 5.1). One common design principle for pull-down menus is to put the most com- monly used information on top of the menu, thereby reducing the probability of having to look further down. In Table 5.1 I estimated my own probabilities p of using all the functions. Replace these numbers with your own estimated probabil- ities Calculate the surprisal and the total information, plog, 1/p, in the menu. With these calculations as a basis, discuss how you could redesign the pull-down menu.
