Keyboard shortcuts will appear in these instructions looking like: Alt+A, Crt+-Q, Ctrl+Shift+A The abbreviation Alt means the Alt key on your keyboard. The Ctrl abbreviation means the Control key on you keyboard which may appear on your particular keyboard as some variation of the word control. Shift means the Shift key. When you see some combination of these you are supposed to hold the keys down simultaneously starting with the left most listed and proceeding to the right. For example, Ctrl+Shift+A means hold the Ctl key down, then the Shift Key then the A key. You then can release all the keys at once or in any order.
