among items on a screen and pressing the Enter key to execute the button
function.

Right Click Menus – Some areas have pop-up menus that bring up frequently
used tasks or provide shortcuts. Just right click on an area and if a menu
appears, left click the menu item you want.

Hot Keys or Keyboard Shortcuts – Many of the menus and buttons can be
accessed using Hot Keys. An underlined letter identifies the hot key for a
button or function. To get to a menu or execute a function on a button hold
down the Alt key and type the underlined letter in the menu name or the button
text. On Windows XP, the hot key letters may not appear until after you’ve
pressed the Alt key.

Pop-Up Hints – Hints are available for many of the on-screen controls. Let
the mouse pointer hover over a control, text box or other screen feature and the
hint will appear automatically and remain visible for a few seconds. These
hints will often explain the purpose of a control or a suggested action. For text
boxes where some of the text is hidden, the full text will appear in the hint.
