# Menus

The menu bar contains all the commands for working with LibreOffice Math. It contains a list of all the available operators as well as the commands for editing, viewing, arranging, formatting and printing formula documents and the objects contained in them. Most of the menu commands are only available when you are creating or editing a formula.

The window containing the document you want to work on must be selected in order to use the menu commands. Similarly, you must select an object in the document to use the menu commands associated with the object.

The menus are context sensitive. This means that those menu items are available that are relevant to the work currently being carried out. If the cursor is located in a text, then all of those menu items are available that are needed to edit the text. If you have selected graphics in a document, then you will see all of the menu items that can be used to edit graphics.
