Where to Find an Option in the Customize Window

   The Customize Legacy screen is reached by choosing Customize from the Options tab on the Ribbon bar.  When the Customize screen is displayed, you can view any of the 12 sections by clicking on the section name in the list on the left side.

There are a lot of customization options in Legacy and sometimes it is hard to find where a particular one is located.  Below is an alphabetized list of all the options and where to find them (in which section and which specific option number).
