Alternative Instructions for Sending Yahoo! IM

Alternately, Yahoo! Messenger users can also send an IM by selecting “Actions” on the top Yahoo! toolbar, then selecting “Send an Instant Message.” Users can also use the following hotkeys to send an IM in Yahoo! Messenger: Ctrl+IM.

Select IM Recipient

A menu of contacts signed in to Yahoo! Messenger will appear. Click the screenname or ID of the Yahoo!/Windows live messenger contact you would like to send an IM to, then press “Okay.” An IM window addressed specifically to that Yahoo! user will appear in Yahoo! Messenger.
