LEI Electronics MAPCREATE 6 - Manual (Page 15)

11
In the printed Quick Reference and the online Command Reference, the
actual command clicks and keystrokes appear as sans serif, boldface
type. So, if you're in a real hurry (or just need a reminder), you can
usually skim the instructions and pick out where to click by finding the
boldface commands. The paragraphs below explain how to interpret the
text formatting for those commands and other instructions. (If you're
already familiar with Windows or many other software manuals you
can probably skip forward to Section 2:
Installation, on page 13.)
Mouse
The mouse controls the movement of a graphic symbol on your screen
called the mouse pointer, sometimes also referred to as a mouse cursor.
The mouse performs an action by moving the pointer over a menu, a
button or the map and then clicking the appropriate mouse button.
When the word "click" is used alone, it means "left-click," or to press and
release the left mouse button. When you need to use the right mouse
button, we will say so explicitly, such as "Right-click on the waypoint."
Sometimes a command requires more than one click. When we say
"double-click," it means to rapidly click the mouse button two times.
Keyboard
The keys on your keyboard may not be labeled exactly as they are in
this manual. All key names are shown in bold, sans serif type. For
example, the "Control" key is shown as
Ctrl and the "Enter" key is
shown as Enter .
Keys are sometimes used in combinations. For example, Ctrl+T means to
hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the T key. The hot key sequence
Alt+T|W indicates a two-step combination: hold down the Alt key while
pressing the T key, release, then press the W key.
"Arrow keys" is the collective name for the up arrow, down arrow, left
arrow and right arrow keys.
To choose a command from a menu, you can use the mouse or press a
key combination.
Instructions
Words in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type, indicate that
you are to take an action of some kind with a command, menu, box or
other item. For example, "You can use the Create Route command to
plan a path to navigate with your GPS. To begin the route, choose
C REATE R OUTE
."
When the phrase "choose command" is used in the online Command
Reference section, it means to run or execute the specified command.
