LEI Electronics 6 manual

Page 16

For example, if the manual says "choose CREATE WAYPOINT," it means to run the Create Waypoint command. You can choose commands by clicking the mouse pointer on the menus or toolbar buttons, or by pressing the appropriate hot key or shortcut key on the keyboard.

Commands are sometimes described as menu sequences, to help you find the command faster. For example, "to open the Trail List window, click VIEWTRAIL LIST," means to mouse click on the main menu's View command and then click the Trail List command on the submenu.

Specific text or numbers you must type are shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, if the manual says "Enter a Zoom range of 650 miles," you would click in the Zoom Range Window, type the numbers 650, then press the Enter key.

Place holders for other items you must supply yourself, such as file names, are italicized. For example, when the manual says "Enter a name in the File Name text box," you would click in the text box, type the name you want to use for the file, then press the Enter key.

This manual is written specifically for MapCreate 6.2, but for simplicity, the program is often referred to as "MapCreate" or "MapCreate 6."
