processor), where you can format and reorder the text to create your own custom shortcut card.
For example, you might want to place the text in a table or sort it by shortcuts, commands, or
descriptions.

Customizing your environment

FreeHand lets you customize many aspects of its work environment. You can add and remove
keyboard shortcuts, use shortcuts from other applications, rearrange toolbars, and change toolbar
buttons.

Customizing shortcuts

To change current keyboard shortcuts or to assign shortcuts to commands that have no shortcuts,
you use the Shortcuts tab in the Customize dialog box (Windows) or the Customize Shortcuts
dialog box (Macintosh). Although you can assign shortcuts to the Repeat Xtra command, you
cannot assign shortcuts to other Xtras.
In addition to the default FreeHand shortcut group, FreeHand provides the default shortcut
groups for FreeHand 8, FreeHand 9, and many other applications, including Adobe Illustrator,
QuarkXPress, Adobe PageMaker (Macintosh), Adobe Photoshop (Macintosh), and Macromedia
Director (Macintosh). You can also copy custom shortcut groups from another user's computer or
from another location on your hard disk.
