  <para>
    This section of the manual describes the use of the menubar and
    the menus themselves. The rest of <xref linkend="sect-gui-menus"
    /> then explains each entry in every
    &gnum; menu, submenu or context menu.
  </para>

  <para>
    A menu is a graphical element within a program which appears with
    a list of options. For instance, almost all applications have a
    <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu through which the user can access the
    computer's filesystem to open or save their work. The main menus
    are on the menubar. The use of these menus is discussed in <xref
    linkend="menu-bars" />.
  </para>

  <para>
    &gnum; also uses context menus to
    give users a quick way to access certain commands. The context
    menu will open up right under the mouse pointer when one of the
    secondary mouse buttons, usually the rightmost, is clicked. This
    menu is called a context menu because the entries in the menu are
    different depending on the location of the mouse pointer. The
    <guilabel>context</guilabel> menus are discussed in <xref
    linkend="context-menu" />.
  </para>

  <para>
    Both the main menus, on the menubar, and context menus may have
    sub-menus. Sub-menus are indicated by a small right pointing
    arrow. To access the sub-menus, the user must move the pointer
    down to the sub-menu entry and carefully across to the position of
    the little arrow. After an instant the sub-menu will open up and
    the user must carefully move the pointer directly across into the
    sub-menu. Occasionally, when there is not enough room to the right
    of the currently open menu, sub-menus may open to the
    left. Navigating sub-menus can be difficult since the menu will
    close if the mouse pointer moves into any other menu entry.
  </para>

  <para>
    Menu entries which are followed by an ellipsis (three dots)
    indicate that this entry will open a dialog window which will ask
    the user for more choices.
  </para>
	

  <sect2 id="menu-bars">
    <title>The Menubar</title>    

    <para>
      The default location of the menubar is at the top of the
      application window.  The menus provide quick and organized access
      to all major commands such as opening files, saving files,
      printing and quitting the application.

    <para>
      &gnum; menus are opened with a
      simple click on the name of the menu in the menu bar. Once
      clicked, the menu will stay open. If the mouse pointer is
      dragged over the name of another menu on the menubar, the first
      menu will close and the new menu open up. This is a useful way
      to look in each menu to hunt for a commands. Menus can also be
      opened through the keyboard. One of the letters in each menu is
      underlined. Typing the <keycap>Alt</keycap> key at the same time
      as the underlined letter key will open the menu. This is also
      true of sub-menus. Once the menus are open, the arrow keys can
      be used to move between menus or select an entry in a particular
      menu. An open menu can be closed with a click over any other
      area of the application or of the desktop. The menus can also be
      closed by typing the escape key, <keysym>Esc</keysym>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Many menu entries are followed by a series of keynames. These
      keys can be used to perform the menu action without having to
      open the menu.  These are often combinations of keys involving
      the control key which is labeled as <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>, the
      shift key which is labeled <keycap>Shift</keycap> and the
      function keys which are labeled with an <keycap>F</keycap> and
      then a number. For example, to quickly cut a selection
      (accessible through the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu), the user
      can make a selection and then type the control key and the "x"
      key at the same time.

    <para>
      The <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu is the most important menu in
      &gnum; because it gives the user
      the ability to interact with the computer operating system. This
      menu allows the user to create files containing all the work
      they have done. It also enables users to print the results of
      their work. Finally, the <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu is the
      best way to close &gnum;.

      <listitem>
	<para>
	  These menu items allow the user to remove recent changes to
	  a worksheet or re-introduce changes which have been
	  undone. These options give the user control over recent
	  edits. This functionality is often called the "change
	  history" of an application. </para>
	
	<para>
	  The type of edit has no importance. An edit which deletes
	  the contents of a cell is treated in the same way as an edit
	  which adds contents to a cell. The change history is session
	  specific. The user will not be able to undo changes through
	  the change history if the file is saved and then
	  re-opened. Note also that the list only covers the last few
	  dozen operations. The number of operations which Gnumeric
	  tracks in its history depends on the size and complexity of
	  those operations. You can customize this number using the preference
	  facility described in <xref linkend="chapter-configuring" />. 
	  There are a few unusual operations which
	  are not yet tracked in this way.

	      remove the last few edits from a workbook. The edits
	      must be undone in order. This menu item removes only the
	      last edit from the workbook. The user can also access
	      the undo list through one of the toolbar buttons and its

	      The menu item only restores the last undone
	      operation. Users can also restore edit using a button on
	      the standard toolbar and through the associated

	These menu items enable selected cell contents to be moved

	workbooks. Selections are areas of the spreadsheet that have
	been chosen, usually with the mouse, and are usually colored
	pale blue. Selections are explained in greater detail in <xref

	&gnum; currently only allows

	<para>
	  To use these menuitems, the user must first select the range
	  of the cut or copy area. When the user then picks these
	  menuitems, the contents of the selected areas will be
	  entered into the &gnum;
	  clipboard and into the X clipboard. The

	    <para>
	      The first set of choices allow the user to control the
	      data pasted.The user can chose to limit the pasting to
	      only the cell contents (no cell formatting is copied) or ---
	      the opposite --- only cell formats copied (no
	      contents). Furthermore, the user can insert the
	      selection while transforming all the contents into
	      values only. In this case, formulas will not be copied, only the
	      results will be.
	    </para>
	    <para>
	      A second set of choices allows the user to perform
	      simple mathematical transformations during the
	      paste. The data in the cells being pasted into are
	      modified by the cell contents. For instance, using the
	      divide operation will result in each cell in the zone
	      pasted into being divided by the equivalent cell which
	      was copied originally.
	    </para>
	    <para>
	      The third set of choices allow the transposition or flip of the
	      original selection. The
	      <guilabel>transpose</guilabel> choice will change the
	      selection by flipping it about the diagonal from top left to 
	      bottom right. Similarly, <guilabel>flip horizontally</guilabel> and 
	      <guilabel>flip vertically</guilabel> paste the selection accordingly.

				 whereas the space filled by deleting columns is filled by
				 moving to the left columns which were right of the selection.

	   they want to apply the template. Most templates define
	   headers and footers so the selection area must be big
	   enough to fit those template elements and the user's
	   data. The template will not affect data which has already
	   been input into a worksheet.

	   <guilabel>Settings</guilabel> menu, an
	   <guilabel>Edit</guilabel> menu and a category chooser. The
	   settings menu allows a user to pick what parts of the
	   template they want to copy into the worksheet. The edit
	   menu will be used to create new templates. Currently
	   templates are written as text into an extensible markup
	   language (XML) format. The category chooser gives the user
	   access to different groups of templates.  Templates in each
	   category are displayed in the middle area of the
	   dialog. Users select the template they want to use by
	   clicking on it.  The currently selected template is
	   highlighted with a red boundary which may be hard to see.

<sect1 id="context-menu">
	<title>Context Menus</title>

<!-- TODO: add info area context menu. -->
<!-- TODO: add text entry context menu. -->

	<para>Context menus are menus which open up under the mouse pointer and are
	therefore detached from the format graphical structure
	of the application. These menus provide an extra and convenient way to access
	Gnumeric commands. All of the commands in context menus are available
	through the regular menu system. Context menus provide different commands
	depending on the position of the pointer.</para>

	<para>To activate a context menu, a user simply positions the pointer over
	the appropriate area and clicks one of the buttons on their mouse. Since this
	button is configurable and users have mice with different buttons, it may be a
	different button on any given machine or may even require the combination of a
	keyboard key and a mouse buttons. The user will have to find how to do this
	themselves.</para>

  <para>
    Currently Gnumeric provides five different context menus. The
    context menu that is called in the central grid area is discussed
    next in <xref linkend="menu-context-grid" />. The Context menu
    that appears when the pointer is over the row headers or column
    headers is presented in <xref
    linkend="menu-context-col-row-header" />. Another context menu
    relates to the worksheet tabs and is explained in <xref
    linkend="menu-context-tabs" />. Yet another context menu applies
    to embedded objects or shaped components such as a plot. These are
    shown in <xref linkend="menu-context-object" />.
  </para>


  <sect2 id="menu-context-grid">
    <title>The Context Menu for the Cell Grid Area</title>

    <para>
      The context menu in the cell grid area appears when the pointer
      is over the cell grid area. This menu applies to the cells that
      have been selected, not necessarily the cell underneath the
      mouse pointer.

	<para>The context menu which relates to column or row headers is similar to
	the context menu for the grid area. Both insert and delete operations are
	modified to operate explicitly on rows or on columns. An option is added
	which changes the height of rows or the width of columns. This context menu
	also provides a way to hide rows or columns and a way to reveal missing
	columns or rows.

        submenus to select any of the existing sheets, whether their tab is currently
        visible or not. The first submenu lists the sheets in their current order, 
        the second submenu lists them alphabetically.

	Each toolbar entry can have text associated with it or simply be an icon. The
	text only does not currently work in Gnumeric. The tooltips which are
