INTRODUCTION

The menu bar contains nine pull-down menus ”File, Edit, View, and so on ”that contain commands for executing Word tasks . Many of these commands have equivalent buttons on the toolbars , and in most cases, it's more convenient to use the toolbar buttons than the menus. However, if you accidentally hide a toolbar or if you don't like using the mouse, you can always rely on the menus instead. In this task, you take a quick tour of the menus to see how they work.

TIP

Using Your Keyboard to Issue Commands

If you want to use your keyboard instead of your mouse to issue a menu command, press the Alt key, and then press the letter that's underlined in the menu name .

The menu expands to show you all of its commands. Click outside the menu to close it.

TIP

Finding Keyboard Alternatives

Key combinations are listed to the right of many menu commands; you can use these keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking the commands in the menus. For example, the Ctrl+F key combination appears to the right of the Find command in the Edit menu to remind you that you can press Ctrl+F to issue the Find command.
