I am not sure if this is a configurable setting, or if it is whether it is
done within Excel or at a Windows level, but I want to set my Excel
program
so that when I click on the menu bar all items are permanently on display,
where currently it hides rarely used items. I know that I can temporarily
view rarely used items by clicking on the down-arrow/chevron at the bottom
of the popup menu, but when like me you are unfamiliar with the menu
structure you sometimes do not know to expand the menu because you do not
know what is hidden.

Thanks.
