Accessibility features
Accessibility features help users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products.
Keyboard shortcuts
Standard Microsoft Windows navigation keys are used in addition to application-specific keys.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the application and perform tasks. If you are using a screen reader, you might want to maximize your window so the keyboard shortcut table is expanded and accessible. You might want to turn on high contrast in your operating system so the lines in diagrams and charts in the application are more visible.
Note: The following keyboard shortcuts are based on US standard keyboards.
