Do you visually indicate the step where users are up to in the wizard?

In a wizard, a visual indication about the progress should be provided so users know where they are up to. It should also let the user know which steps have been completed and how far to go.

A good way to do this is use a left navigation bar with bold on the step they are currently at.
