Reserved menus
Many of the menus defined in the standard menu files for FrameMaker are reserved menus. FrameMaker has
intrinsic knowledge about reserved menus; it can refer to these menus directly by name.
Reserved menus are defined with the ReservedMenu statement. By convention, the names of reserved menus
in the Frame menu configuration file all begin with an exclamation point (!). Some of the reserved menus in the
FrameMaker menu configuration file are listed in the next two subsections.
Important: To avoid name conflicts with these reserved menus, do not begin any of your custom menu names with an
exclamation point.
Permanent menus
FrameMaker relies on the following menus existing. They are all menu bars or are associated with the
Formatting bar. You cannot remove these menus from the menu configuration file. FrameMaker will not work
properly without them.
