Main Menu
MapCreate's main menu is similar to that of other Windows programs. It
consists of the File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Window and Help menus.
You can click with a mouse or use the hot keys to access the menus and
their submenus. For example, to see all the commands on the File menu,
use the mouse pointer to click
F ILE
or use the keyboard and press the hot
keys Alt+F . Some commands also have shortcut keys, such as F1 for the
Help command. All the commands — with their hot keys and shortcut keys
— are listed alphabetically in the Help file's Command Reference section.
Toolbars
MapCreate 6.3 includes five different toolbars, all designed to speed you
on your way to creating maps quickly. Each toolbar contains a row of but-
tons that you can click to execute various commands. You can move the
mouse pointer over a button and a pop-up tool tip box shows the button
name and/or function.
The first time you start MapCreate, only the Create Map (Easy) and the
Map Navigation toolbars are visible. [You can display either the Create
Map (Easy) or the Create Map (Advanced), but not both at the same time.]
