Path notation

We use a shorthand path notation to show you how to reach a given Word or Windows user interface element or option. The path notation is relative to a well-known location. For example, the following path:

Start → Programs → Accessories

means “Open the Start menu, then choose Programs, then choose Accessories.”

Keyboard shortcuts

When keyboard shortcuts are shown, a hyphen (such as Ctrl-Alt-Del) means that the keys must be held down simultaneously, while a plus (such as Alt+F+O) means that the keys should be pressed sequentially.
