Hello Nancy and all.
Thanks a lot for all your time.

That's maybe where I am lost.
I am on Drupal 7. I am sure that what I can do is simple, maybe some of you willl laugh with this.
Let's say I have 3 areas, 3 school areas. Each school area has 4 departments.
What I want is that all the content is classified under a "menu" (I am not sure now if I can call a menu) let's say a category. So when some content is created use created under one Area and One department. So let's say is content for Area 1 and Dept2, then the link menu would be:

- Area1
  + Department 2

And when I select to see content from Department 2, I should go to
-  Area1
   + Department 2

Menu, and I should see:

-  Area1
   + Department 2
      content 1
      content 2
      content "n"
      etc

But if I want to see content for Area1, Then I iwll go to menu

-  Area1

And should see:

-  Area1
   + Department 1
      content 1
      content 2
      content "n"
      etc
   + Department 2
      content 1
      content 2
      content "n"
      etc
   + Department 3
      content 1
      content 2
      content "n"
      etc

I am starting to belive that this kind of "data separation" should not be done with menus. I am using the Main menu only, with a tab for each area and inside each tab the menu corresponding to each department. But when I select the main tab, I do not see only the content for that Area and the same if I go to a department. It just do not work.

Maybe my explanations are not so clear. I am sorry in advance.

Thanks in advance for your time and for all the advices.. I will continue trying and learning.

Jorge, perhaps you could state your issue a bit more clearly.
 
The only relationship between menus and blocks is that menus are typically shown in blocks.
One menu is all 90% of my sites have; and that should be the case for everyone. If you wish to show only the part of the menu related to the current page, then take a look at http://drupal.org/project/menu_block.

I am still working on the exercise to continue learning. I am still confused with the menus and blocks and what's driving me crazy is not being able to have one menu to show only the topics under that menu..... but for sure I am learning a lot.!
