To choose a command from a menu, point to the menu title, hold down the mouse button, move the pointer down the list until the command you want is highlighted, then release the button. (See Figure 3-5.) | ||

Figure 3-5 Many mouse-based applications let you use a certain key combination (like pressing open-apple-S) instead of choosing a command from the pull-down menu. Typing key combinations is faster for some experienced users and touch typists, but it's not as intuitive. (You have to remember the key combinations instead of finding the command you want on a menu.) Keyboard equivalents to pull-down menu commands are usually shown on the menu. | ||
