If you have already disabled the languages, then you should be able to drag
the menu items off with Tools | Customize open. Be sure to save Normal.dot
when you quit Word, and they should not reappear.

thank you for reply. i did have asian languages which i sucessfully
removed
in a previous post. after reading kb839371, & following the directions, i
removed many other languages. opened word. still have the 3 items:
"extended formatting", "function key display" & "japanese greetings"
showing
on the toolbar's drop down menu.
how about a simple uninstall & reinstall? office trial 2003 was on machine
when i installed the word 2002. i hadn't activated the 2003 office trial
because i intended to use my word 2002. it was after the install i noticed
asain related items. i uninstalled the trial version of office 2003. then,
as per this group, used language settings tools to remove all references
of
asian & all was back normal, so i thought. i'm comparing this to 2 other
machines with word 2002's which doesn't show those 3 items.
i thought this was a matter of a simple toggle on/off setting. i can use
program as is. no other problems so far.
any other input greatly appreciated, & thank you for replying!

These options are present because you have support for East Asian
languages
enabled; see “Margin marks or crop marks appear on each corner of the
page
when you open a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003” at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371 for instructions for disabling
it.

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.

using word 2002 on new dell e521 dell desktop vista home premium.
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.
is there a way to remove them from the drop down toolbar?
thank you, len kiesling
