XLplus Add-On Menus
XLplus Add-Ons integrate within the XLplus menu.
The Add-Ons integrate themselves into the Add-Ons Menu and can be reached there easily. Integration always happens by theme-orientation. The possible menus are:
- File
- Edit
- Insert
- Format
- Tools
- Data
- View
- Window
Theme-Orientation happens according to the menu structure of MS Excel 2000- 2003 and therewith the CUA (Common User Access) Guidlines of IBM.
