2.8.5 Using Menus
You can usually select a menu command to perform tasks.
• Click on the menu you want to access from the menu bar.
• Tap on the menu names and commands, or use the arrow keys to move
around the menus. Tap on commands marked with a
or press the right
arrow key to see further commands.
A menu command with three dots at the end means that selecting the command will
display a “dialogue” where you enter more information (see “Using Dialogues”,
below).
If a menu command is grey, it means that it’s not currently available; e.g. you cannot
Copy unless you have first selected something to copy.
2.8.6 Using Dialogues
A “dialogue” appears when you need to make selections and enter further informa-
tion. You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or using the up and
down arrow keys. Dialogues contain one or more of the following elements:
Textbox:
where you just type in your information. When you tap in the textbox, you will
need to open the on-screen keyboard to enter text.
Dropdown:
where you select from a number of options. You will see left and right arrows
around the current selection; you can change the selection by tapping on the
arrows, by pressing the left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of
the option you want.
Checkbox:
where you make a choice between selecting an option or not selecting it. Just
tap on the checkbox, or press the left and right arrow keys to add or remove
a checkmark.
Radio buttons:
where you make one choice from a number of options. Just tap on an option, or
use the left and right arrow keys to make a selection.
If an item is grey, it is currently not available. For example, if you do not have a
transflective display, the Backlight On checkbox in Backlight Properties will be
greyed out.
