A shortcut key can be a single key on the keyboard or several keys that are pressed in combination. In this help system, the plus sign (+) indicates when keys are to be pressed in combination. For example, INSERT+RIGHT ARROW can be used to read the next word in a document. Shortcut keys can also consist of sequences of pressed keys, where some keys are pressed and released, and then other keys are pressed. A comma (,) indicates when keys are to be pressed one after the other. For example: ALT+F, X can be used to close many applications. In this example, press ALT and F together, release the keys, and then press X. When referring to shortcut keys that require the use of the number pad, the word NUM PAD always precedes that shortcut key. For example: INSERT+NUM PAD 5. If the shortcut key does not say NUM PAD, use the number from the number row.
