A Menu Item command selects a specified item in the menu bar of a specified application.
To create a Menu command:

dropdown with the menu options for the selected context.
Note: If the application you chose as the context is not currently running, the Launch
Context… button may appear. Click the button to load the menu options for the application.
2. Open the dropdown to see the menus of your selected context (application).
3. Click the menu and submenus (if needed), then select the item.
Your selection appears in the Menu field.

Here's an example
While using Microsoft Word, saying "Add link" selects the menu item Hyperlink… in the Insert menu:
You can access menus in any application by saying "Click <menu name> menu." However, you can save
time by creating custom Menu Item commands for frequently used items.
Tip: Use Menu Item commands to access iTunes scripts with Dragon. Just select Script from the
dropdown menu and find your script in the submenu.
