Ideas to improve the user documentation

MenuBar also know as.

(Link to relevant sections of the manual / move this to possibly a New appendix?)

(Menus change and appear dependant on the Category used eg: Edit / View / / how to represent that? maybe a table of some sort? Make some more screen shots!) Note to self: the menus Reports / Tools / Help stay the same as far as I can tell
