Selecting commands

Select commands using any of these methods:

    Choose a command from the ribbon.

    Choose a command from a menu.

    Click a tool in the Tool Palettes pane.

Some commands remain active until you end them, so you can repeat an action without having to select a command repeatedly. You can end a command by pressing Esc.
