Customizing menus
Corel customization features let you modify the menu bar and the menus it contains. You can change the order of menus and menu commands; add, remove, and rename menus and menu commands; and add and remove menu command separators. You can search for a menu command if you do not remember the menu in which it belongs. You can also reset menus to the default setting.
The customization options apply to the menu bar menus as well as to shortcut menus that you access by right-clicking.
Help topics are based on the application’s default settings. When you customize menus and menu commands, the Help topics associated with them do not reflect your changes.
