Menus

Menus you use in ReadPlease are standard Windows menus.  
 
There are two ways to activate a menu:  
 
· click on a menu with your mouse  
· while holding down the [Alt] key, press the letter you see underlined on the menu. For example to access the File menu, hold down [Alt] and press the F key.

The sub-menus are explained in detail in the next sections.

You can use the keyboard to access submenus as well. For example, to exit ReadPlease you could use the keystrokes [Alt] F, then press X. This combination works because the [Alt] F brings up the File menu, and pressing the X key (without the [Alt] this time) selects the Exit menu choice (note the x is underlined) as shown here:

Some menu options may be accessed directly by pressing the [Ctrl] key and then a letter. For example, [Ctrl]-N will create a new document. Note that these [Ctrl] shortcut keys (or hotkeys) do not require the File submenu to be open. Just press the [Ctrl]- key from anywhere in ReadPlease.
