Other conventions

In step-by-step instructions, the names of menus, buttons, fields, and other options appear in bold type (for example, “the OK button” or“the Title field”).

When you are instructed to choose an option from a menu, the menu and menu options are separated by the greater-than symbol (>). For example, “choose File > Save” means to choose the File menu then choose the Save option from the menu. This convention is also used to show the sequence of items you use on the navigation bar to open a form.

Text in italics shows general information that you must replace with information that is specific to your system. For example, you would replace password with a specific password, such as 123gr@ndma.

File and directory names, code examples, and computer output appear in Courier.
