Ways to perform commands
There are often several ways you can perform the same task with FirstClass. For example, you can delete selected text in a message you are composing by:
• choosing Edit > Clear from the menu
• pressing Delete on the keyboard
• choosing Clear from the shortcut menu.
To open a conference or folder, and move a message, document, or file into it, you can:
• open the target conference or folder by double-clicking it, then drag the object to the target
• drag the object and hover over the target until it opens.
In some cases, you can also click a toolbar or dialog box button, or use a keyboard shortcut.
Tip
When choosing a menu item from a dropdown field, you can type a letter to move to the first item starting with that letter. For example, if you are choosing a font from a "Font" field, and you want Verdana, you can type v to move to the first font that starts with v.
