Using Contextual Menus

Contextual menus are menus that change depending on the type of object selected or where the mouse is positioned . The benefit of contextual menus is that you don't have to move all the way up to the menu bar to invoke a command. Also the menu changes to provide you commands that are appropriate for the type of object chosen.
