Pull-down menus are typically selected by a left mouse click on the desired menu. They can also be accessed by using a combination of “ALT + keys” to select “File”, “Edit”, “Design”, “Reports”, “View”, “Window” or “Help”. The first letter of each menu is the activation “key”. For example, “ALT + E” opens the “Edit” menu. Submenus can also be selected without mouse clicks by adding additional sub menu “keys”. For example : “ALT + W +T” will open the “Window” menu and select “Tile”.
