Improving the menus and toolbars in Google Docs and Slides

We’re making some changes to the menus and toolbars in Google Docs and Slides on the web. These changes will make it easier to find certain items and increase consistency across Docs and Slides. Among other things, you’ll notice the following:

• In Docs and Slides, “Lists” in the Format menu has been renamed “Bullets and numbering.”
• In Docs and Slides, “Show spelling suggestions” has been renamed “Spelling” and moved from the View menu to the Tools menu.
• In Docs, “Document outline” has been renamed “Show document outline” and moved from the Tools menu to the View menu.
• In Slides, “Import slides” has been removed from the Insert menu.

See below for some examples of the revamped toolbars and menus.
