Getting Started Guide

3) In the Save In drop-down list, choose whether to save this changed menu for
the application (for example, OpenOffice.org Writer) or for a selected
document (for example, MyDoc.odt).
4) In the section OpenOffice.org [name of the program (example: Writer)]
Menus, select from the Menu drop-down list the menu that you want to
customize. The list includes all the main menus as well as submenus (menus
that are contained under another menu). For example, in addition to File, Edit,
View, and so on, there is File | Send and File |Templates. The commands
available for the selected menu are shown in the central part of the dialog.
5) To customize the selected menu, click on the Menu or Modify buttons. You
can also add commands to a menu by clicking on the Add button. These
actions are described in the following sections. Use the up and down arrows
next to the Entries list to move the selected menu item to a different position.
6) When you have finished making all your changes, click OK (not shown in
illustration) to save them.
Creating a new menu
In the Customize dialog, click New to display the dialog shown in Figure 315.
1) Type a name for your new menu in the Menu name box.
2) Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the new menu into the required
position on the menu bar.
3) Click OK to save.
The new menu now appears on the list of menus in the Customize dialog. (It will
appear on the menu bar itself after you save your customizations.)
After creating a new menu, you need to add some commands to it, as described in
“Adding a command to a menu” on page 348.
