To exit the delete mode, just press Escape. To restore the menus,
right-click on a Toolbar and select Customize. You can press the RESET
button and it will restore all menus back to the default. You can also edit
the menus whilst Customize dialog is open by using the mouse to open and
drag off the items unwanted and dropping them into empty space. Or to put
them back individually, find the menu item in the list and drag and drop it
onto a menu.

thank you for reply.

i understand that the ctl+alt+- will cause curser change. how do you
change it back?

if i delete the "japanese greetings" for example, is there a way to put it
back later?

i have same word 2002 at work, & the 3 items i listed do not show there.

i thought there was a way to do it in the toolbar's option panel.

i may just leave all alone, but i'll wait to hear back.

thank you again! len kiesling

Be Really careful doing this. Use Ctrl + Alt + - (the - on the Num Pad).
The cursor will grow into a thick black larger than life - sign. Hover it
over a menu which will cause the menu to drop down, then move it over the
item you want to remove and click. You have to do this carefully as
whilst the cursor is in the mode, it will permanently delete anything you
click on.

on the toolbars drop down menu there are 3 items listed that i would
like removed, without deleting them from the program.
"extended formatting", "function key display" & "japanese greetings".
they are not checked under the options in viewtoolbarsoptions.
