How do I edit drop-down menus?
In Word 2003, there are certain default features in the drop-down menu
(right-click on mouse) in the body of a document (i.e. heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, etc). I have no use for these & would like to put some useful features instead (i.e. font, print page). When I searched MS Office Assistance, the 'help' for Add, remove or change the order of tems in a drop-down list began with "1. Open the template that contains the form you want to change." Needless to say, this is not helpful for what I need so am unsure where to go from here. This may seem like a rather insignificant problem, but our office just converted to Word 2003 & our 'help desk' is not very 'helpful.' Any suggestions are appreciated. |

Tools Customize...
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm Be careful what you wish for. I would recommend storing your customizations in a template other than normal.dot. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. Finally, if you do lengthy documents in which you may want a table of contents at some point you do want those heading styles and other styles. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm, http://addbalance.com/usersguide/complex_document.htm You really do want to learn to use styles if you use Word much at all. Otherwise, you'll constantly be swimming against the current. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
