Reading the Documentation

Various font styles are used throughout the Grapher quick start guide and online help. (Note that Bold and italic text occasionally may be used for emphasis.)

• Bold text indicates commands, dialog names, tab names, window names, and page names.

• Italic text indicates items within a dialog or window such as section names, options, field names, and buttons. For example, the Save As dialog contains a Save as type field.

• Commands appear as Home | Clipboard | Copy. This means, click or scroll to the Home tab at the top of the application window, then click on the Copy command within the Clipboard command group. The first word is always the menu or ribbon tab name, followed by the command group, and finally the command name within the menu list or on the ribbon.

Sample File Location
