The Pull-Down Menus

The menu options are displayed on the top left of the screen, from left to right.

 

When you click a main menu item and hold the mouse button down, a sub-menu appears showing more options. To select a menu option, keep the mouse button pressed, move the cursor over the item, and then release the mouse button.

 

Before we examine in detail each menu item, you should know that most of the menu commands have keyboard shortcuts that give you prompt access to their relative functions.

 

Once you are familiar with the program, you will probably find these shortcuts much faster and efficient to work with. You can find a complete list of all keyboard shortcuts for Windows and for Macintosh at the end of this Help.
