Keyboard Shortcuts

For those who prefer to use the keyboard rather than the mouse, here are a couple of tricks you can use for more easily navigating the Contact Manager:

· Use the Alt key plus the 1, 2, or 3 key for a quick way to change to a different database level. For example, Alt+2 will take you to Level 2.

· Use the Alt key plus the left or right arrow key to move through records one at a time on the current database level.

· To open a menu bar, hold down the Alt key and type the underlined letter in the menu name (also known as the "hot key"). For example, Alt+C will open the Contact menu.

· To issue a menu bar command, just type the underlined letter in the selection. For example, after using Alt+C to open the Contact menu, type the letter U to open the Contact Utilities submenu.

· When in edit mode on a record, use the Tab key to move through the fields according to the input order, or use Shift+Tab to move in the reverse direction. The up and down arrow keys can also be used for this.

· To move the cursor out of a memo field, use Ctrl+Tab or Shift+Tab. Ctrl+Tab will move to the next field in the input order, while Shift+Tab will move to the previous field in the input order.

· When the cursor is in a date field, use the '+' key to move the date forward in the field one day at a time, and use the '-' key to move the date back one day at a time.

· When a check box is highlighted, use the spacebar to mark or unmark it.
