As stated in the description of bug 91781, "I have already completed the
reorganization with the help of the OOo user stats, as well as analyzing a
number of competing word processors". So basically i've used the same method
i've used to improve the toolbar and context menus.

> Why do you rename Freeze to Freeze panes ?

The word 'Freeze' by itself has no meaning. It had no meaning as Window >
Freeze as you are not actually freezing the window. Freeze panes is used in
Excel, but we could use Freeze Rows/Columns if that is more preferable.

This was moved and to Data > Calculate as the entries are to recalculate data.

No we had discussions about it during the HIG work and decided that Tools would
always be next to Window for consistency of the menu bar.

> Data
> AutoFilter and More filters.. I would not do that. Shortcut Data > Filter
> immediately offers AutoFilter

The stats showed that 78% of users who opened the Data > Filter submenu went
for AutoFilter and it is the second most used entry in the Data menu, so it is
important that it be not in a submenu.

> Sheet
> Interesting idea..

Yes i wondered what would be the best possible name for it. Any suggestions?
