Dialog Boxes

Movement and editing within a dialog box may be carried out according to the key definitions as described in your Windows manual. A brief reminder of some of these keys follows.

 

TAB

 Move from option to option

SHIFT+TAB

 Move from option to option in reverse order

ALT+character

 Move to option whose letter matches character

Arrow key

 Move cursor within a data box

HOME

 Move cursor to start of data within a data box

END

 Move cursor to end of data within a data box

INSERT

 Toggle between typeover and insert modes

DELETE

 Delete the next character or the selected text

BACKSPACE

 Delete the previous character

ENTER

 Activate the dialog box's default command button

SHIFT+cursor

 Select text across which cursor moves

 

When the text in a dialog box is selected (highlighted), then typing any text will cause the existing text to be deleted. To avoid this, use the END or cursor keys to switch off the selection of text before typing any characters.
