|  |  | The Services

The Application > Services menu (where 'Application' is the name of the frontmost application) allows access to special commands published either by other applications, such as TextEdit or Safari, or by services extensions such as DEVONtechnologies' WordService or CalcService. DEVONsphere Express publishes its own services, too. The Services menu is a submenu of every application's application menu, the menu named after the application itself and carrying the About X, Hide ... and Quit commands. Services also appear in many context menus, e.g. in the Finder or for selected text in many other apps. Services usually act on a selection, e.g. selected text or files. Services provided by DEVONsphere Express: See also: Adds the selected text or file into DEVONsphere Express' input field and looks for information related to it on your computer. Use Application > Services > Services Preferences to change keyboard shortcuts or hide selected commands to clean up the Services menu.
Note: After installing DEVONsphere Express you may need to log out and back in again for the Finder to recognize the new Services menu commands and shortcuts. If one or more DEVONsphere Express Services menu commands do not have a keyboard shortcut assigned to them, perhaps another application grabbed it. OS X automatically assigns the correct shortcut when no other application asks for the same key combination.
