Accessing Menu and Command Functions
Every menu label contains a single underlined letter. The underlined letter is the hot key, the key used to access the menu.
In the following illustration, the letter V is the hot key for the View menu. After opening the menu, you see that each menu item has its own hot key.

Fields and command buttons also have associated hot keys. In the above illustration, the Find field has a D hot key, the Search command button has an S hot key, and the Case sensitive checkbox has an N hot key.
