There are 2 ways of focusing on the Menu Bar - Data Option, these are:-

Press the Down Cursor key and the option menu will be opened. 2. Hold down the ALT key and press the letter "D" once, focus will now be placed on the top item in the Data option.

There can be many options in a menu list, these can vary according to the version of the program currently running. An example of such a list is shown below.
