<p class="Paragraph">The commands, which can be used for editing, viewing, sequencing, formatting and printing, etc. a document or its contents, can only be called up if the document is open and acitve. Active means, in this case, that the document has to be in front of any others on the screen. If you want the commands to correspond to an object in the document, then that object has to be selected.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">The menus are context sensitive, this means that those menu commands will be available that are relevant to the work being currently carried out. If the cursor is located in a text, then all of those menu commands are available that are needed to edit the text. If, for example, you have selected graphics in a document, then you will see all of the menu commands that can be used to edit graphics.</p>
