For example, if the manual says "choose
C
REATE
W
AYPOINT
," 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

IEW
|T
RAIL
L
IST
," 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."
