Is there a way you can add a sub-folder to the Application menu. For example in the office folder of the applications menu there is dictionary and open office word processor i would like to put word processor in a Open Office folder and anything else associated with Open Office but i cant figure it out. example below

Now:

Applications

Office


Dicationary
Open Office Word Processor
Open Office Spreadsheet

What I would like:

Applications

Office


Dictionary



Open Office




Open Office Word Processor
Open Office Spreadsheet
