Thanks for that. I'd love to help out where I can.

Yes, putting it in the side bar would help a lot. Though I shouldn't need to go
into a context menu to get the properties. What I would like to see is this:

* If the side bar has been collapsed by the user, when clicking within the
bounds of the pivot table it expands the side bar automatically and shows the
properties for the pivot table. Clicking out would collapse the side bar again.

* If the side bar is already expanded, when clicking within the bounds of the
pivot table, it swaps to the properties for the pivot table. Clicking out would
return the side bar back to the previously selected tab (Properties, Styles..
etc)
