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 ex-
ample, 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 Help file Command
Reference section, it means to run or execute the specified command.
For example, if the manual says "choose
C
REATE
W
AYPOINT
," it means to
run the Create Waypoint command. You can choose commands by
clicking the mouse pointer on the menus or toolbar buttons, or by
pressing the appropriate hot key or shortcut key on the keyboard.
Commands are sometimes described as menu sequences, to help you
find the command faster. For example, "to open the Trail List window,
click
V
IEW
|T
RAIL
L
IST
," means to mouse click on the main menu's View
command and then click the Trail List command on the submenu.
Specific text or numbers you must type are shown in bold, sans serif
type. For example, if the manual says "Enter a Zoom range of
650
miles," you would click in the Zoom Range Window, type the numbers
650, then press the
Enter
key.
Place holders for other items you must supply yourself, such as file
names, are italicized. For example, when the manual says "Enter a
name in the File Name text box," you would click in the text box, type
the name you want to use for the file, then press the
Enter
key.
This manual is written specifically for MapCreate
6.3, but for simplic-
ity, the program is often referred to as "MapCreate" or "MapCreate 6."
