Keyboard keys This manual uses standard names and abbreviations for keyboard keys; your keyboard might use different labels. Choosing commands When a procedure tells you to choose a command, the instruction is written: Choose Edit > Paste This tells you to open the Edit menu and choose the Paste command. You can use a keyboard shortcut if the command has one. Some menu items open a submenu of related commands. When the documentation tells you to choose a submenu command, the instruc- tion is written: Choose Object > Arrange > Bring To Front This tells you to open the Object menu, choose Arrange to open the submenu, and then choose the Bring To Front command.
