      <p class="para_topic">The main menubar and most other pulldown menu options contain an underlined character in their name, for example, File. These characters are called mnemonics. You can use these underlined characters to quickly select options using the keyboard.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">To activate an option using its mnemonic:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Press &lt;Alt&gt; and the mnemonic underlined character that corresponds to the menu you want to open. For example, press &lt;Alt&gt; and the F key to open the File pulldown menu.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Press another mnemonic underlined character for the function you want to open. For example, press E for Export.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">In some cases, you can select another mnemonic underlined character. For example, press P to export a Part.</p>
