example menu, there are icons associated with all but the last three of the
menu commands. The presence of an icon next to a menu command means
that the icon is also a label on a toolbar button and will execute the same command
when clicked as the menu command on the menu.
• Hot Keys - Hot Keys are key combinations that will cause a menu command
to execute without having to click the command on the menu. Typically, hot
keys will contain two keys that must be pressed simultaneously for the combination
to execute. The area at the far right of the menu commands may display
the hot key combinations for the menu commands. In the example menu,
there is a hot key combination (CTRL + C) for the Copy command. Hot keys
may be added or customized via the Tools-Customize dialog.
• Tear-off Menu Handle - The Tear-off Menu Handle is an area (the one
containing the dots) at the top of the menu, present on many menus. The tearoff
feature allows the quick creation of a toolbar that contains all of the commands
in the menu that have command icons. The user may hover the mouse
over the tool to highlight it, drag the mouse to the toolbar area and place the
menu as a toolbar there. The illustrations below show highlighting the Tearoff
Menu Handle to begin dragging the toolbar, dragging the toolbar across
the screen, and finally docking the toolbar in place.
