Spread Designer Menus

The Spread Designer provides menus for accessing and saving files, working with properties of the sheet, and for setting properties for the control. Several of the things you can do from the properties window can also be done from several of the Editors that can be called from the menus.

Menu Name	Menu Description
File	Perform standard file operations such as opening and saving files, importing and exporting files, and printing.
Edit	Perform standard Clipboard operations such as copying and pasting, as well as inserting and deleting columns and rows.
View	Control what is displayed including toolbars and the status bar.
Book	Manage workbook-level settings. Several of the choices in this menu launch a dialog box related to workbook-level properties such as the appearance of the scroll bars and text tips. This also includes the printing properties and the settings for virtual mode.
Sheet	Manage sheet-level settings. This includes the appearance of sheets, from colors to grid lines, as well as the settings for columns, rows, and headers. For bound data, the data binding settings are available from this menu.
Cell	Manage cell-level settings. This includes cell types, cell colors, and various additional settings such as notes and tags.
Calculation	Manage settings related to formulas and functions. Select the cell reference style and whether to allow iterations. Use this menu to set a custom name.
