<strong>Prism</strong> User s <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Putting menu selections and commands in the tear-off region lets you get access<br />

to them without having to pull down a menu or issue a command from the command<br />

line.<br />

Changes you make to the tear-off region are saved when you leave <strong>Prism</strong>; see<br />

Section 9.3.3.<br />

9.1.1 Adding Menu Selections to the Tear-Off Region<br />

From the menu bar: To add a menu selection to the tear-off region, first enter<br />

tear-off mode by choosing Tear-off from the Utilities menu. A dialog box<br />

appears that describes tear-off mode; see Figure 42.<br />

Tear-off Mode<br />

You are now In tear-off mode. Choosing a menu Item adds a button for that<br />

Item to the tear-off region beneath the menu bar. Clicking on a button In<br />

the tear-off region removes the button.<br />

Click on Close In this box to close the box and leave tear-off mode.<br />

Figure 42. The Tear-Off dialog box.<br />

I Help<br />

While the dialog box is on the screen, choosing any selection from a menu adds<br />

a button for this selection to the tear-off region. Clicking on a button in the tearoff<br />

region removes that button. If you fill up the region, you can resize it to<br />

accommodate more buttons. To resize the region, drag the small resize box at the<br />

bottom right of the region.<br />

Click on Close or press the Esc key in the dialog box to close the box and leave<br />

tear-off mode.<br />

When you are not in tear-off mode, clicking on a button in the tear-off region has<br />

the same effect as choosing the equivalent selection from a menu.<br />

From the command window: Use the tearoff and untearoff commands<br />

from the command window to add menu selections to and remove them from the<br />

tear-off region. Put the selection name in quotation marks; case doesn't matter,<br />

and you can omit spaces and the ellipsis (...) that indicates the selection displays<br />
