THE SHORTCUTS
Instead of using the Menu bar for operations or right clicking it is possible to use a combination of the Ctrl key and another key on the keyboard to perform the same thing. These are called shortcuts. Below are the most common short cuts.
Save= ctrl + s
Print= ctrl + p
Select All = ctrl + a
Copy = ctrl + c
Cut = ctrl + x
Paste = ctrl + v
New document = ctrl + n
Undo typing ctrl + z
Open a document = ctrl + o
Note
You can find more shortcuts by clicking on Edit on the Menu bar
Also by right clicking on the text you will get a menu that allows some of these shortcuts, like copy or cut or paste.
MANAGING THE TOOL BAR
All of the above operations are repeated on the Tool Bar using the Tool bar buttons. By putting your mouse on a button a tag will pop out telling you what the button will do for you.
It is also possible to extend the Tool bar by clicking on the expansion arrow at the right end of the Tool bar.
Thirdly to increase the number of buttons showing, you can make the Tool bar and Format bar in two rows.
