“Clicking” menus, buttons and other interface controls

To "click" on an application menu or submenu, just say its name preceded by the word “click” (or not depending

on the option for menus—see below). For instance, for a menu labeled Insert, say Click Insert. (The application

must have the focus, which you can usually tell by the appearance of its title bar.)

When accessing a submenu, pause briefly after the name of the menu. For instance, in applications like Word

2003: to see the available toolbars, you can say click View (pause) click Toolbars, and to save a file under a

certain name, you can say click File (pause) Save As.

TIP: To close an open menu, you can just say cancel or press Escape (equivalent to pressing the Esc key at

the top left of your keyboard).

Note: With Office 2010, Microsoft introduced some changes to the applications interface—in particular, it

introduced the File Tab. The other tabs can be accessed by voice by just saying their name, but for the File Tab

you must say “file tab” or “click file tab”. With Office 2013, Microsoft also made some interface modifications.
