The Menu Bar
------------

There are four main menu bar items:

- File
- Data
- Analysis
- Help

These main menu items have subitems as follows:

File
^^^^
	- Load Data
		Load data from a previously saved IO-Snap file.
	- Save Data
		Save data that has been edited in IO-SNAP. This feature is designed to allow users to save IO-Snap accounts that have been modified using aggregation or editing features.
	- Excel
		Spreadsheet export and import functionality.
	- Print
		This item opens the print dialog window for printing the contents of the active window.	 The print orientation is inherited from your system dialog.
	- Preferences
		Change display, header, and number settings.
	- Program Reset
	    The option closes all data tabs and effectively restarts the program without the need to exit. This is especially useful if you have been exploring features and generating numerous accounts and unnecessary tabs. Extended and or interrupted use can also result in memory management errors that can be remedied by resetting the program and retrying the operations.
	- Exit
		Close IO-SNAP

Data

This menu item provides viewing access to IO Accounts, State Industry Data, Gross Product, Requirements Tables, Multipliers, and Sector Distribution. Details on viewable data are elaborated on :ref:`its own documentation page <Data target>`.

The Edit menu item allows users to aggregate the existing accounts and to directly edit accounts data. Documentation for these features is under development.
