You can place a menu item in one of three menu item groups. The menu groups are named with some OLE naming conventions, but the main difference among the three groups is where the menu items will be placed in the merged menu bar.
You also have the option not to merge menu items.

The illustration shows how menu items are merged when the embedded spreadsheet is active.
If you double-click on an embedded desktop application, the default verb for that application is executed. For example, the default verb for Microsoft Word is Edit. In a CA Gen window, when you double-click on an OLE area containing an embedded Word document, the document is presented in edit mode. The CA Gen window tool bar is replaced with Microsoft Word's tool bar, and the menu items are merged as you specified in the design.
