Main Menu 
MapCreate's main menu is similar to that of other Windows programs. It 

consists of the File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Window and Help menus. 

You can click with a mouse or use the hot keys to access the menus and 

their submenus. For example, to see all the commands on the File menu, 

use the mouse pointer to click 

 or use the keyboard and press the hot 

keys 

. Some commands also have shortcut keys, such as 

 for the 

Help command. All the commands — with their hot keys and shortcut 

keys — are listed alphabetically in the Help file's Command Reference 

section. 
Toolbars 
MapCreate 7 includes five different toolbars, all designed to speed you on 

your way to creating maps quickly. Each toolbar contains a row of buttons 

that you can click to execute various commands. You can move the mouse 

pointer over a button and a pop-up tool tip box shows the button name 

and/or function. 
The first time you start MapCreate, only the Create Map (Easy) and the 

Map Navigation toolbars are visible. (You can display either the Create Map 

(Easy) or the Create Map (Advanced), but not both at the same time.) To 

display additional toolbars or remove one from your screen: 
1. Click

. A toolbar is active when a check mark is displayed 

in the box to the left of the toolbar's name. If the toolbar is not active, the 

box is empty.
