About→These→Arrows

Throughout this book, and throughout the Missing Manual series, you’ll find sentences like this one: “Open the System→Library→Fonts folder.” That’s shorthand for a much longer instruction that directs you to open three nested folders in sequence, like this: “On your hard drive, you’ll find a folder called System. Click to open it. Inside the System folder window is a folder called Library; double-click it to open it. Inside that folder is yet another folder called Fonts. Double-click to open it, too.” Similarly, this kind of arrow shorthand helps to simplify the business of choosing commands in menus, as shown in Figure 1.

When you read Choose Insert→Layout Objects→Div Tag in a Missing Manual, that means, “Click the Insert menu to open it. Then click Layout Objects in that menu and choose Div Tag in the resulting menu.
