3. Select the tab Toolbars.

4. On the " Toolbars " list, scroll down and check "Shortcut Menus." After selecting this option, you will see a small box called "Shortcut Menus " displayed.

5. On the " Shortcut Menus " LINE, click the arrow next to " Text ". Scroll down and select " Text ". You will see as shown below:
