Main Window Menu Bar and Tool Bar

The menu bar in the Visual Translator contains menu options that allow you to perform various tasks. The buttons in the tool bar provide quick access to some of the most commonly used menu option functions. When a menu option or tool bar button is grayed-out, it is disabled and you cannot use it.

NOTE: This manual uses the following notation to represent a menu option:

File Exit

This notation tells you to choose the Exit option from the File menu.

Some menu options have accelerator keys assigned to them that appear to the right of menu options on pull-down menus. Accelerator keys are key combinations you press to select a menu option. For example, when you pull down the File menu, you see CTRL-o to the right of the Open option. This means that you can hold down the CTRL key and press o to open a language kit.

Each menu option has a mnemonic. A mnemonic is a single letter that you can press to select a menu option. The mnemonic for each menu or menu option is underlined in its label. Table B–1 lists the menu-bar options, their associated buttons on the tool bar, descriptions of the tasks you can perform with them, and the tab folders in which they are enabled.
