Some conventions we follow in this module

In order to convey as much information to you as possible, we have adopted a number of conventions in how we tell you what to do in the lessons:

·        When we use the word “folder,” we refer to folders and directories on your local computer. When we use the word “directory,” we are referring to those on the server. (These words are often used interchangeably by others.)

·        When we use the word “press,” we always mean to press a certain key on the keyboard. If we want you to hold down one key while you press another key, we use the plus sign:  For example: Press Crtl+C. Press the Control key, and continue holding it while you press and release the C key.

·        When we want you to click your mouse button, we will always use the word “click,” as in “Click on the Site View button.” If this is the first time we mention a particular button, and it is unusual, we will include an image of the button.

·        When we want you to make a selection from a menu, we use the word “use,” as in “Use File|Save As…”  (The vertical bar, |, indicates that you should click on the word “File” in the menu bar and then choose “Save As…” from the menu that appears.)

·        When we want you to either click your right mouse button,  we use the term: “right-click.” 

·        When we ask you to “choose” something, you should use whichever method is appropriate. “Choose” is our generic word. We also use it when we expect you to know at that point where to click or what to press to make something happen.
