useful for readers who want quick info about a menu or button on a
toolbar? IMO, I'd like to avoid the menu and toolbar reference info,
because it seems unncessary, but I can't help to think someone may find
it useful, especially if the tool tips aren't as informative.>>
I document toolbars and menus. It doesn't take long and if it's helpful
to even a couple of users, then I figure it's worth my time.
