I completely disagree. The menu items are more consistent than any of the diverse UI methods. At some version some UI variant gets changed, or added, or deprecated. Such modifications happen much less frequently on menu items and are more common in other spreadsheet tools too. The help text points to the item that is consistent in whichever UI. The fact that some users don't display the menu bar by default is not a reason to change the help text. If such were to be the normal procedure, developers would have to make every help text dependent on each and every possibility or combination of UI elements. As I mentioned, most users would just use the context menu on the worksheet tab (where the name of the worksheet is shown. And even then, you could have hidden worksheet, either protected or unprotected. It would make the help text dependent and varying on a lot of UI variations, and every time the layout and/or features of an UI variant would change, developers would have to review every single help text or tool tip in order to adapt it to some minor change. There is no workaround to learning what a _menu_ is vs what a toolbar is, especially when the software is not as simple as a basic/simple text editor. If users play with UI variants, they have to eventually learn these things too. Knowing where the menu is located and/or how to arrive to that element is much simpler than understanding how Protection works for spreadsheets. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
