To remove an ink or stroke from the scrolling list:
1. Select it and click Remove Selection; if the item is on the Toolbar, this removes it from the
Toolbar also.
2. In the font size box, select a size and then press the Add Size button. The font size appears
in the main scrolling list, and a font size button appears on the Toolbar.
To choose a font:
Select a name from the menu. The font appears on the scrolling list, and a font button appears on
the Toolbar.
To customize keyboard shortcuts:
1. In the Customize dialog box, select an item in the scrolling list. If the item has a keyboard
shortcut, the Current Shortcut Key box shows the shortcut keys.
2. To assign a keyboard shortcut, press the keyboard keys you want to use. The keys you type
appear in the Press New Shortcut Key box. Click Assign to assign the new keys to the item.
If the keys you type are assigned to another shortcut, the message Currently assigned to: appears
beneath the Press New Shortcut Key box.
Certain keys are restricted, so pressing them will not display their values. Other shortcuts
are reserved by Canvas, so they can be assigned, but not applied to some procedures; e.g.,
Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, and Ctrl+3 cannot be used in painting.
You can’t assign single keys as shortcuts; e.g., you can’t assign “H” or “F7” to an item.
To remove shortcut keys from the selected item:
Click Remove.
To restore the default shortcut keys to all commands:
Click Reset All.
To restore the default shortcut keys to one command:
Select the command in the scrolling list and click Reset.
To assign shortcuts to inks:
