Keyboard shortcuts can be used in SAM. The shortcuts cover various tasks for Windows and Mac functions.
Note Because SAM uses a simulation of Office®,
some Office shortcuts might be unavailable in the simulation
pane or content player.
To scroll in the simulation pane, keyboard focus should be on the simulation pane, not the content player toolbar.
