      <p class="para_topic">Some pulldown menus display a &lt;Ctrl&gt; symbol or other symbol followed by a character to the right of a menu option. These are called  <em>Menu Accelerators</em>. A Menu Accelerator is a key combination that starts a function without you having to display the pulldown menu.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">To use a Menu Accelerator:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item"> Press the control symbol and associated character indicated in the menu. For example, to open the <b class="uiTerm">File Open</b> dialog, simultaneously press &lt;Ctrl&gt; and O.
            </p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_topic">If a menu item is grayed out, the associated Menu Accelerator will not function.</p>
