Keyboard Accelerators
In a dialog box, you can "press" buttons using Alt key sequences, such as Alt-C for Cancel. The Esc key also performs a Cancel operation in any dialog box.
In some dialog boxes, you don't even need to use the Alt key when invoking a keyboard accelerator: In a "Yes/No" dialog box, you can type Y or N (either uppercase or lowercase). In a message or confirmation box (no input field), you can indicate Ok by typing O (either uppercase or lowercase), or by pressing Enter.
Many commands can be invoked with a keyboard accelerator, without opening any menu at all. The accelerators for such commands are listed on the menu itself. Keyboard accelerators for frequently performed commands are summarized in the following table.
