Hi Stuart,

Most of the items in the menu relate to the current document. Doesnt really
make sense to have the close button in a section of save buttons.

Yes export and save actions are similar, but each deserve their own section,
primarily because there are so many save actions. The 'document as email'
button was previously in the toolbar and it would be useful for those looking
to access this feature to easily know where it is in the menu.

File > New > Templates.

I had thought to move 'Reload' and 'Versions' into the save section, as
'Reload' reverts the document back to its original state, which people would
normally like to do rather than choosing to save, while 'Versions' allows you
to save multiple versions of a document inside the same document, so it is a
save related action. But with reload being no different then closing the
document without saving changes and reopening it and versions not working on
all document types, it is less useful to move them higher than where they are
presently.

> Regarding the close button I am not yet sure, because I have pros and cons.

Closing a document and closing the entire application are suitable to be in a
section of their own. This is no different to have an 'X' on the right side of
the menu bar to close the current document and another 'X' in the title bar to
close the application. The other alternative is to move close to the bottom of
the new/open section, as i've seen some applications do it this way (IBM
Symphony, WordPerfect, Word 2003).
