shortcut menu not keeping changes
I have tried to add a frequently used macro to the right-mouse click
"shortcut Menu", but am having troubles. I can get it to work perfectly - appearing and doing what I want it to do. Problem: When I leave Word, so do all my modifications. Yes I am saving global changes - I put a button on the tool bar and it stays and work, just not able to keep changes to use later for right mouse click. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Are you sure you're looking at the same shortcut menu every time? There are,
as you have no doubt discovered, myriad contexts for the "context menus," and if you added the macro to only one or a few of the menus, you may be seeing one to which you did not add it. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for a speedy reply.
I have verified that the menu item works, but after I exit Word and go back into Word, it disappears. rtdtnx "Suzanne S.

I don't think the Reader alone will cause the problem, as it does not
integrate with Word the way Acrobat does, but Acrobat 7.0 evidently sets the Saved property of Normal.dot to True so that Word thinks it doesn't need to be saved. You can save it explicitly by using File | Save All when you are saving a document based on Normal.dot. To access the Save All command, press Shift while clicking on File. -- Suzanne S.

Susanne,
Thanks for your help. I am not sure that the problem is in not saving Normal.dot. My other changes made at the same time (done to verify that the change was working) were recorded, saved and verified by opening Word up the next time. Any other solutions? "Suzanne S.

The only other possibility I can think of is that the menu addition is being
stored in some template other than Normal.dot and will appear only when that template is in use (or that the macro is stored in another template and so is unavailable to Normal.dot). -- Suzanne S.
