Context menus

Clicking the right mouse button in the Questionnaire window displays a context menu; a menu of commands that are relevant to your current position and selection. All the commands on it can be accessed in other ways, but this may be a faster way of finding them.

The menu that appears will vary depending on the current mode (Design, Style or Data View) and on what is selected. Each mode has its own standard menu that will appear in most cases, but in two of the modes (Design and Style) a shortened version will appear if one or more entire questions are highlighted.
