Pop-up Menus Pop-up menus make it easier for you to work with files and applications by giving you quick, direct access to an application's commands and functions. Pop-up menus duplicate commands and functions available on pull-down menus. Unlike pull-down menus, which require you to move the pointer to the menu bar, you can display a pop-up menu anywhere in an application's work area. To display a pop-up menu: 1. Press and hold MB3 on the application's work area. 2. Drag to the menu item you want. 3. Release MB3. If you change your mind while looking at a pop-up menu, drag outside the menu and release MB3. The menu disappears and no action is taken.
