thank yor again!
the 3 toolbars in question, "extended formatting", "function key display" &
"japanese greetings"
are on the viewtoolbars menu.
i displayed the japanese greetings tool bar in word ( viewtoolbarsjapanese
greetings). i opened the custom dialog box with that toolbar opened.
hovering the mouse did not open anything on the japanese greetings toolbar,
however there is a drop down arrow & an "x" to close. i engaged the drop
down menu, & yes, items could be dragged off, or just right click the item
listed & select delete. this removes the submenus of the japanese greeting's
tool bar, but not the japanese greetings off the main tool bar view.
if i have the submenus of toolbars opened , (under view), or the drop down
menu opened in the japanese greetings tool bar, as soon as i press the ctl
alt, the menus disappear, so i can't ctl+alt+-, hover & delete.
i'm not trying to delete any submenus of the japanese & the 2 other tool
bars, i'm trying to remove the entire japanese greetings & other 2 off the
viewtoolbars menu, so when the viewtoolbars' drop down menu shows, it's
not there. (same as my other word 2002 machines).
i really appreciate you helping me with this. can you provide further help
with this new info?
thank you, len

Display the toolbar in question before opening the Customize dialog, then
use Tools | Customize to open the Customize dialog. With the dialog open,
hover the mouse over the toolbar to open the menu, then select each
undesired menu entry with the mouse and drag it off the menu. You can also
use the Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen method to remove the menu items individually
without
opening the Customize dialog. That shortcut is "used up" after each use,
so
you'll have to press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen repeatedly to reinvoke it, which is
why
I suggested opening the Customize dialog instead.
BTW, which toolbar is this menu on?

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.
