You can move menu items within a menu or from one menu to another, change the order of the menus within a menu bar, and add separators to menus or remove them from menus.
Note that you can move items into or out of context menus using the same procedure as for other menus.
To move a menu item:
1 | Quit Dreamweaver. |
2 | Make a backup copy of the menus.xml file. |
3 | Open menus.xml in a text editor such as BBEdit, HomeSite, or Wordpad (don't open it in Dreamweaver). |
4 | Cut an entire MENUITEM tag, from the <menuitem at the beginning to the /> at the end. |
5 | Place the insertion point at a new location. |
6 | Paste the menu item into its new location. (Make sure it's between a <MENU> tag and the corresponding </MENU> tag.) |

To create submenus, nest a matched opening and closing pair of MENU
tags within a menu. That is, insert a new <MENU></MENU>
pair into a menu, then add new menu items between those tags.
To insert a separator between two menu items:
Enter <SEPARATOR /> between the two MENUITEM
tags.
To remove an existing separator, delete the corresponding <SEPARATOR />
line.
