2) In the Save In drop-down list, choose whether to save this changed menu for the
application (for example, LibreOffice Writer) or for a selected document (for example,
SampleDocument.odt).
3) In the section LibreOffice [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 Edit | Changes. The
commands available for the selected menu are shown in the central part of the dialog.
4) To customize the selected menu, click on the Modify button. 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.
5) When you have finished making all your changes, click OK (not shown in illustration) to
save them.
Creating a new menu
In the Menus page of the Customize dialog, click New to display the New Menu dialog (Figure
351).
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 (not shown in illustration) 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 373.
Modifying existing menus
To modify an existing menu, either user-made or inbuilt, select it in the Menu list and click the
Menu button to drop down a list of modifications: Move, Rename, Delete. Not all of these
modifications can be applied to all the entries in the Menu list. For example, Rename and Delete
are not available for the supplied menus, and Move is not available for submenus.
