Making choices
Forms often have boxes XE
"drop menus" where XE
"menu:drop" the needed
information XE "typing:into boxes"
can be typed in, or can be selected
from a drop down list, making typing
unnecessary. In some cases, information
needs to be entered, but the box will not
take typing. The clue is an arrow
pointing downward, which means that a menu
can be dropped.
In the view, the mouse pointer (active at the tip of the arrow) is pointed on the button with the down-arrow.
Clicking drops a list, commonly called a menu. Any entry in the list may be selected by clicking with the
mouse.
A keyboard shortcut may be available for drop lists.
Alt-T
sometimes drops a list. In QuickBooks, this works
on lists where the content is a fixed part of the program. It does not work on lists where the user can add
entities.
