key
| The keyboard can be considered
an alternate way of working a computer. Although it is the original method
of operating a computer, it is, in the 21st century, considered an alternative. It
is a more efficient method than using a mouse.
The ALT key also provides us a way of inserting special characters, such as ½, é, or ¢. For more about this subject, visit our ASCII character page |

| Should you change your mind you can either,
hit the escape key twice (once to close the list and a second time to get
back to the body of your work) or point to another part of the screen and
single click.
It should also be noted, if you hit the ALT key by itself,
your position will be on the menu bar, usually sitting on top of File,
without the list being exposed.

| As before, Hold <Alt>
and tap the underlined letter of the field you want to access. This method
is useful as you do not need to select the field's contents prior to making
changes. Just type and the contents will be replaced.
Another alternative would be to tap the Tab key. Every hit of the tab key will move your position forward 1 field. Should you overshot your target field, hold Shift and tap Tab. This action will cause your position to move backwards. |
