clearing history buffer
I've cleared my temp IE files, & resent doc files, but can't figure out how
to clear the entire history buffer... I'm tired if having to scroll down & click the double chevrons on all of my toolbar menus. I have an excellent tracks eraser app, but it won't recognize any Office programs... Please assist... |

clearing history buffer
History information is not stored in one location. Which particular history
do you want to erase? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org J-Dog wrote: I've cleared my temp IE files, & resent doc files, but can't figure out how to clear the entire history buffer...

clearing history buffer
Um, this is the MS Word section of the forum, so I guess I'm lookin' to clear
Word's usage history, in order to view all of my menu options at a quick glance, instead of having to scroll down to the bottom of each menu and ckick the damned double chevron in order to see the less used items --- Its tedious to do that, and I haven't noticed an option to clear it --- Just clearing the doc history doesn't work. Can't put it much more clearly than that... "Graham Mayor" wrote: History information is not stored in one location.

What you appear to be asking is how to display the full menus?

Open the Tools Customize dialog and click the Options tab. Check the
option that says "Always show full menus". (That's in Word 2003. Some earlier versions worded the option something like "Use personalized menus", and if you have that one then it should be unchecked.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

clearing history buffer
Thanks guys!...
I had to uncheck "Menus show resently used commands first", then it was just a matter of clicking the "Reset usage data" button... I had gone through the "Options" thoroughly, but must have pased "Customize" a dozen times.... Oh well, when you're lost in the forest its hard to see the trees... (or, like everybody else, I'm just mildly retarded)... thx again... "Jay Freedman" wrote: Open the Tools Customize dialog and click the Options tab.
