Text Conventions

Some text is formatted differently to indicate specific meanings or functions. Below is a table that defines the different text formats and what they indicate.

Text Format Style

Meaning or Function

KEY CAP

This format is used to represent buttons on the printer, as well as

 

keys on the computer keyboard.

Hypertext

This format is used to indicate that the text is linked to another

 

page of the document. Clicking on the underlined text takes you to

 

that page. Sometimes, a page number and section heading are

 

included in the blue underlined text, but any text formatted this way

 

indicates the presence of a link.

Input

This format indicates that the text is typed by the user at a

 

command prompt or into a dialog box.
