- 7. Rx Pad - Key Commands in SOAPware 2010
There are many keyboard commands in SOAPware that will help you become more productive and efficient. To use a key command, press and hold the keys as listed in the sequence. For example, the key command to open the Chart Rack is CTRL + SHIFT + C. To use this command, press and hold down the CTRL key, then press and hold the SHIFT key, and finally press and hold the C key. Chart Rack will then open, then release the keys. The SOAPware key-commands have been broken down into various sections. Therefore, some key-commands that pertain to multiple sections have been listed multiple times. Microsoft convention is to use the term shortcuts when referring to key-commands. Because SOAPware uses Shortcuts to refer to the code/word used to enter SMARText items, we generally avoid use of the term when referring to key-commands.
