Interface
When you click a menu name, a number of commands are listed below it.
As an alternative to using your mouse (or other pointing device), each menu
name includes an underlined character. Pressing that character key while
holding down the Alt key opens the menu, unless that particular key
combination is assigned to a keyboard shortcut. Some commands and
subheadings in the open menu have an underlined character as well. While
the menu is open, pressing that character key invokes the command. While
navigating menus with the keyboard, you can also use the arrow keys to move
the highlighting and the Enter key to activate a command or open a submenu.
An ellipsis (…) after a command name indicates a dialog will appear.
A right-pointing triangle after a command name indicates that a submenu
will appear.
If a command has a keyboard shortcut, the menu displays it to the right of
the command name.
If a menu command is an on/off toggle, a check mark indicates its status: If
a check mark is present, the command is active.
