ABOUT THIS GUIDE The purpose of this user guide is to aid in the learning and use of the Virtual Trade Show. Symbols and Conventions To help you locate and interpret information easily, this guide uses some consistent text formats, symbols, and terms. TEXT FORMATS The following formatting styles identify special information THIS FORMAT bold type italic type ALL CAPITALS SMALL CAPITALS Initial Capitals REPRESENTS Anything that you must type exactly as it appears. For example, if you are asked to type dir \windows, you would type all the bold characters exactly as they are printed. Placeholders for information you must provide. For example, if you are asked to type filename, you would type the actual name for a file instead of the word shown in italic type. Italic type also signals a new term. An explanation immediately follows the italicized term. Directory names, filenames, and acronyms. Labels of keys on your keyboard. Menu items, command names, and dialog-box names and options. Instructions for mouse users. Instructions for keyboard users. About This Guide 1

KEYBOARD FORMATS The following formats identify key combinations and key sequences. FORMAT key1+key2 key1,key2 MEANING A plus sign (+) between key names means to press and hold down the first key while you press the second key. For example, press alt+esc means to press and hold down the alt key and press the esc key. Then release both keys. A comma (, ) between key names means to press and release the keys one after the other. For example, press alt,f means to press and release the alt key, and then press and release the f key. MOUSE TERMS These terms indicate the following actions. TERM Point Click Double click Drag ACTION Move the mouse pointer until its tip rests on the desired part of the screen. Press and then immediately release the mouse button without moving the mouse. Click the mouse button twice in rapid succession without moving the mouse. Point and then hold down the mouse button as you move the mouse. CHOOSING AND SELECTING ITEMS In this guide, the terms select and choose have different and specific meanings. Selecting an item usually means marking it with the selection cursor, which can appear as a highlight, a dotted rectangle, or both. You also select check boxes in dialog boxes. Selecting alone does not initiate an action. Choosing an item carries out an action. For example, choosing an icon might start an application, open a window, or carry out a command. You can also choose an item from a menu, or choose a command button. You often need to select an item before you can choose it. Virtual Trade Show User s Guide, February 10
