• Following the Adding Items to Custom Menus instructions and choosing the " Shortcuts" option, press <Ctrl+F1>.
• Press [Add] or <F6> to begin creating a new shortcut.
• At "Description", enter the description you want to give to the shortcut. This will appear on the menu.
• At "Path/Location", enter the location of the resource you want to link to.
  • If the resource is a document on this computer or a networked one, you may use the "..." button to "browse" for the document's location.
  • If the resource is a web resource, enter its URL/web address. This is the same as what would be typed and shown in the address bar of an internet browser and be in the format 'http://www.catalyst-uk.com'.
