access keys
Access keys function exactly like hot keys in any Microsoft application. They are an accessibility aid for vision impaired users to be able to skip directly to relevant content areas on a page. Internet Explorer (IE) supports access keys from version 4 onwards, Netscape since version 6. Older browsers do not support access key functions, but this will not effect the visual delivery of content.
To use the access keys on the DoCS website, Windows users can navigate with the access key feature by typing ALT+Access key followed by Return. Using a Mac, you will need to use CTRL+Access key (not COMMAND+Access key, which can produce undesirable effects).
Please type ALT (or CTRL for the Mac) +
