THUNDER HELP SYSTEM
MENUS - AN OVERVIEW
The programs you are using will have menus. That is, lists of things you can choose to do, like "Edit, View, Format,Tools etc". You bring up the menu choices by holding down the ALT key (just to the left of the SPACE BAR) then pressing the Left and Right CURSOR keys. Later you will learn to press particular keys after the ALT key plus a letter key as a shortcut to particular menus. Although each program has its individual menu choices, they are very similar and almost predictable. Hold down the ALT key and CURSOR DOWN and you will hear menu choices such as “Open”, “Close”, “Save”, “Print” and “Exit” etc. PRESS the ALT Key and CURSOR RIGHT and you will hear menu choices such as File, Edit, View, Format, Tools, and Help etc.
