The visual menu provides you with easy access to the design tasks you'll use in Microsoft PhotoDraw. For example, the Text menu lists all the choices you need to create, format, and customize text objects. You can use additional PhotoDraw features by selecting commands from the standard menu or from the toolbars.
You can move the visual menu anywhere on your desktop. If you want more room to work with your pictures, you can also hide the visual menu.
