SUMMARY

If you click Create New Publication on the File menu, the Startup dialog box appears. If you press CTRL+N on your keyboard to create a new publication, the Startup dialog box does not appear. Instead, you get a new blank page setup for the Windows default printer. That is, if you start a new publication using the CTRL+N keyboard shortcut, you can't choose to use a template or a PageWizard Design Assistant.

MORE INFORMATION

This keyboard shortcut is designed to give you a new publication in the least possible amount of time. It bypasses the Startup dialog box on purpose.
