1.2 Manual conventions
When the wording “Click Start ...” is used, this refers to the Windows® Start
button. Compared to Windows® XP, Windows® Vista and Windows® 7, the Start
Menu has undergone some significant changes. The taskbar icon is no longer
labeled "Start" and is now simply the pearl icon (of the window-frame in an orb).
For clarity and convenience, these conventions are used throughout this
manual:
lMenu names from the display appear in bold, blue lettering.
lSettings within a menu appear in bold, red lettering.
lFront panel controls and control names appear in bold, black lettering.
