Changing the name of a menu command or menu

You can easily change the name of any menu command or menu by editing the menus.xml file.

To change the name of a menu command or menu:

  1. Quit Adobe Dreamweaver.
  2. Make a backup copy of the menus.xml file.
  3. Open menus.xml in a text editor such as HomeSite, BBEdit, or Wordpad. (Don't open it in Adobe Dreamweaver.)
  4. If you're changing a menu command, find the appropriate menuitem tag, and change the value of its name attribute. If you are changing a menu, find the appropriate menu tag, and change the value of its name attribute. In either case, do not change the id attribute.
  5. Save and close menus.xml; then start Adobe Dreamweaver again to see your changes.
