A menu command with three dots at the end means that selecting the command will display a “dialogue” where you enter more information (see “Using Dialogues”, on page 16).

If a menu command is grey, it means that it’s not currently available; e.g. you cannot Copy unless you have first selected something to copy.

2.6.6 Using Dialogues

A “dialogue” appears when you need to make selections and enter further information. You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or using the up and down arrow keys. Dialogues contain one or more of the following ele- ments:

Textbox:

where you just type in your information. When you tap in the textbox, you will need to open the on-screen key- board to enter text.

Dropdown:

where you select from a number of options. You will see left and right arrows around the current selection; you can change the selection by tapping on the arrows, by pressing the left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the option you want.

Checkbox:

where you make a choice between selecting an option or not selecting it. Just tap on the checkbox, or press the left and right arrow keys to add or remove a checkmark.

Radio buttons:

where you make one choice from a number of options. Just tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow keys to make a selection.

If an item is grey, it is currently not available.

Some dialogues comprise a number of “pages”, each page has a “tab” at the top. Tap on the tab, or move the highlight to the tab name, to go to that page. You can also move a dia- logue around the screen by holding the stylus on the dialogue title bar and dragging it across the screen.
