Preposition question
Hi,
(1) If you need to get more information on the created network, open and view the pages that the red arrows point AT.
(2) If you need to ...., .... that the red arrows point TO.
Cursory googling reveals that either version ( point to / point at ) makes sense?
If you could comment on this AT/TO alternative?
thank you

I agree that both work, but I prefer "to" in this case. It's not a technical difference, but I think it's an idiomatic one. I can see the red arrows in close proximity to the pages.

- "To" may be used this way as well, of course.
