5.14 CONTEXTUAL MENUS

Don’t be put off by the title. What follows is useful and not too difficult. The more up-to-date your version of Office, the more options you will have.

A contextual menu is a menu of options appropriate to where you are in many programs. Press either the NKP minus key, the Application Key or SHIFT F10 to get to it if there is one available. You then Arrow Down to hear the choices and press ENTER on the one you want.

EMAILING

If you are at the inbox with an item selected, doing the above brings up some useful choices including Reply, Reply to all, Forward, Follow Up and Find Related.

MICROSOFT WORD

With a document on screen in MS Word, do the above and you will hear choices such as: cut, copy, font, paragraph, bullets, numbering, styles, hyperlink, look up, substitutes and translate. Choices such as bullet or numbering are quick and easy to use, but others such as synonyms and translate produce more complicated results on the right side of the screen away from your main document and are more challenging.

DOCUMENTS

In "Documents" or "My Documents", doing the above gives you these choices: copy, open with, and send to etc. "Open with" lets you choose which program to use to open a document - Notepad, WordPad or another.

"Send to" lets you send the selected document to one of your email recipients or to the Desktop etc. If it is a large document, you have the option to compress it to make it more likely to get there.

DESKTOP

Doing the above at the Desktop lets you re-arrange your Desktop icons and gives you access to some gadgets including a large bright on-screen clock. If you focus on one of the icons on your desktop, you then have a contextual menu allowing you to rename that icon.

The Contextual menu function is not available in WebbIE or Internet Explorer But whatever program you are using, it is worth looking to see if there is something you might need from the contextual menu.
