How to move a menu item to the left?!Hi
simple question I hope!! Using the menu designer I have a file menu and an options menu with sub items... I have added a Help menu and want it on the right-hand side away from the other menu items, how do I do this? Thanks "Adrian" <adrian@nospam.comk> wrote in message AFAIK you can add a separator bar. Or do you want it to park itself on thenews:dtqnc1$6ah$1@nwrdmz03.dmz.ncs.ea.ibs-infra.bt.com... > Hi > simple question I hope!! > > Using the menu designer I have a file menu and an options menu with sub > items...

Right aligned Help menus haven't been seen since Windows 3.1.

Help Menus. It's a matter of consistency.

and just for clarity I want the File menu to remain on the left, only the Help menu item to shift.
