Using Shortcut Menus
Instead of using the standard menus to find the command you need in
a window, try using the shortcut menus.
To use a shortcut menu:
t Right-click on a window to access a shortcut menu that shows the
most frequently used commands for that window. For a list of the
available shortcuts, see the Avid NewsCutter XP Quick Reference.
Using the Windows NT Taskbar
By default, the Windows NT taskbar always appears on the bottom of
your screen, on top of your application. You have two other choices:
• Keeping the taskbar hidden behind the application
• Setting the taskbar to appear only when you drag the mouse
pointer to it
n
If you keep the taskbar hidden while running Avid NewsCutter XP and you
minimize an application such as Help, you will not see the minimized icon. To
see the taskbar and minimized icons, minimize Avid NewsCutter XP.
To change the taskbar settings:
1. Right-click an unused part of the taskbar.
2. Choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
3. In the Taskbar Properties dialog box, click the Taskbar Options tab.
4. Select the options you want:
t To keep the taskbar hidden, deselect Always on top and Auto
hide.
t To set the taskbar to appear when you want, select Always on
top and Auto hide.
5. Click OK.
