Typographical Conventions

 

This help file uses consistent visual cues and text formats so that you can interpret it accurately.

 

<KEY> The name of a key on the computer keyboard to be used.  For example, <F4> means press the key labeled "F4."  It does not mean type F followed by 4.

 

<KEY1+KEY2> When two keys are joined by a "plus" sign, this means you should press both keys at the same time.  For example, <ALT+F4> means you should press the <ALT> key, and while holding it down, press the <F4> key, then release both keys.

 

bold Characters printed in bold represent a value that should be typed exactly as it is shown or selected from a provided list.

 

italic Words shown in italic are place holders for information you need to provide.  For example, if you are directed to type filename, enter the actual name for a file instead of the word "filename."

 

underline Clicking on an underlined word or phrase will cause you to jump to a different topic relating to that word or phrase.

 

"quoted" Items contained in quotes are names of items in the Menu Bar or Windows controls that are not described elsewhere.

 

"Label1 | Label2" Labels separated by the pipe symbol specify how to navigate through the Menu Bar items to trigger a desired action.  For example, "File | Open" means click on the "File" label to open the File Menu, then click on the "Open" label.  This combination of actions opens a file.
