Selecting an item from the action bar

To select an item from the action bar:

  1. Move the cursor to the item on the action bar; for example, Options (see Action bar menu).
  2. Press Enter. FM/Db2 displays a pull-down menu with choices relating to the action bar item you selected.
  3. Select a choice from the pull-down menu. Either:
    • Type the pull-down menu selection number (for example, 6 for Print settings), and press Enter, or
    • Move the cursor with the Up or Down arrow keys to the required choice, and press Enter.
An asterisk in front of a choice on a menu indicates that the choice is not available for the current panel.
