Checked in.  Made all entries complete sentences.  Tightened style to conform to Draft Style manual. Created examples for the use of layout numbers.  Fixed formatting.

I'm not sure this is ready for final review.  I'd like to take another look at it after leaving it for a while.

Usagi,

Were you still going to look at this one or did you want Michelle or I to review it for possible transfer to the help site?

Select from the drop-down list the menu item after which the new item will appear.

Possibly:  Choose a menu item from the drop-down list that you would like the new item to appear after.

Charles,

Sounds better!  All I did was change the text to green.

Choose a menu item from the drop-down list that you would like the new item to appear after.

You can now transfer this text to the help site and update the changelog 1.0x

Just post when you are completed

Thanks!
