Thank you all for all the answers you gave me to this. I find that the shift-control-options m to bring up that menu only sometimes works. On something like on the front age of serotalk.com for example it does not give you the appropriate option in that menu. That was what made me realize it wasn't a usable anser for all cases and I don't know about most or not. Armed with these suggestions though that issue should no longer be a problem.
