12 <title>Introduction</title>
13 <p>This is a first pass at defining an annotation menu structure for
14 spreadsheets. The assumption is that we'll have an 'Annotate' entry in the Excel
15 right-button menu for selected regions, which will pop up region-appropriate
16 menus.</p>

20 <p>Right-clicking 'Annotate' when over a selected range will create a new
21 defined name of the form <code>_Xnnn</code>, where <code>X</code> is one of <code>R</code>,
22 <code>C</code> or <code>M</code> for <name>r</name>ows (horizontal range
23 selection), <name>c</name>olumns (vertical range selection) or
24 <name>m</name>atrix (for two-dimensional range selection) respectively, and
25 <code>nnn</code> is a serial number for the relevant selection type.</p>
26 <note>If the selection is a single cell I guess we try popping up a selection type menu,
27 with choices 'Row', 'Column', 'Matrix' and 'None' (the latter resulting in <code>_Nnnn</code>).</note>
