Using shortcut menus
You can quickly edit an object or data by choosing commands directly from the shortcut menu.
Shortcut menu commands vary based on what mode you're using, the item the cursor is over, and whether an item is selected. For example, when text is selected in Browse mode, you see items like Cut, Copy, Paste, suggested spellings for misspelled words, text formatting commands, sorting commands, and quick find commands. When a field is selected in Layout mode, you have access to commands that pertain to Layout mode.
To display a shortcut menu:
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) an object or an area. If it has a shortcut menu associated with it, the menu appears.
Note   Shortcut menus are available for the following items in these modes:
