2.2.3.  ALT Key

You will notice throughout the application that several characters—or individual letters within words—are underlined. In the sample Bill of Materials screen, for example, the SAVE button has the first letter, "S", underlined. The first letter, "C", in the CANCEL button is also underlined. Alternately, notice that the MOVE DOWN button has the "W" underlined. The list could go on.

If you depress the ALT key on your keyboard in combination with any of these underlined letters, the effect is the same as if you had used the mouse to select that button or field. For example, the following combination of keys will activate the PRINT button: ALT + P. The following keyboard shortcut will cancel or close a screen: ALT + C. Or, move a component item down a notch in a Bill of Materials display with the following shortcut: ALT + W.
