Use this window to set up a new menu item or edit the details of
an existing menu item. A menu item is a tool, separator, or submenu.
Complete this window as follows:
Menu Item Type
If you are adding a menu item, select the type of menu item that you want
to add to the selected menu. If you are editing a tool or submenu, this field
is read-only.
Note: If you are adding a separator, this is the
only entry required within this window.
Tool
Select the tool that you want to add. If you are editing a tool, you can
choose to select another tool from this drop-down list.
Note: This
field is available for tools only.
If you want to create a new tool that can then be added as a menu item
within the selected menu, click Add Tool. The Tool
Details window opens. Complete this window and save your changes.
When you return to the Menu Item Details window, the
tool will be available for selection within the Tool drop-down
list.
If you want to edit the settings of the selected tool, click Edit
Tool. The Tool Details window opens. Complete
this window and save your changes. You return to the Menu Item Details window.
Title
If you are adding or editing a tool or a submenu, either accept the default
text (if given) in this field, or type another title. Include an ampersand
(&) in the title if you want to create a mnemonic. This text will be shown
as the menu item name within the menu.
Note: If you are adding a tool, the Title field
defaults to the name of the tool selected. However, if you subsequently select
a different tool, the initial Title field entry will
remain unchanged unless you manually update it.
