We have a disagreement in our company about how to show submenus. Is there
a standard that applies.

For example, if I were writing a document for Microsoft word and wanted to
demonstrate how to insert a picture.

Insert>Picture>Clip Art

Is the ">" a standard way to separate these menu options? should this be
done without spaces? If the menu options have a hard key (an underlined
option), should the documentation display the character as underlined.

(In this case, should the "I" in insert, the "P" in Picture, and the "C" in
Clip Art be underlined in a hard copy documentation.

Thank you, in advance, for your advice

Jim Schoen
