#### Selecting Options from the Menu Bar with the Mouse

Options can be selected from any drop-down menu in the same manner as the menu bar. | To open a menu and browse through the options using the mouse:

1. Move the pointer to the desired menu name.

2. Click the left mouse button.

When an ellipsis follows an option name, choosing the function will display a dialog box. For example "File | Open…" lets you know that there is an Open File dialog box. Dialog boxes display various options, boxes, and buttons (called controls) for specifying commands that will be carried out by PC-DMIS. Sometimes a dialog box will show default settings already selected, which if satisfactory, can be left as they are. In general, after all the controls in the dialog box have been set, click the OK button to carry out the command. To cancel the command and close the dialog box, click the Cancel button.
