Sure. My article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/LostSymbol.htm does
just that. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "MMan" wrote in message ... Can anyone tell mew why the "Symbol" choice would disappear off the "Insert" dropdown. And how I can get it back? |

The question arises, Why would they think such a keyboard shortcut [to
delete commands from menus] would be a useful thing to have? And also, why wouldn't they think Insert Symbol was useful enough to be on the toolbar by default?

The ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut and ToolsCustomizeAddMenuShortcut are
leftover from previous versions of Word -- back in the days when Word didn't have drag/drop customization capabilities. The ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut is still handy for removing entries from the Work menu, but the ToolsCustomizeAddMenuShortcut is rarely used, if at all. I suspect it's only used by those who consider the keyboard command an Easter Egg since the mouse pointer changes. ;-) Note both commands have been disabled in Word 2007. The commands are still there but the functionality isn't. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

To add to what Beth has said, the ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut command
can also be used to remove documents from the MRU list at the bottom of the File menu (which also removes them from the Getting Started task pane). I agree about the utility of an Insert Symbol button on the toolbar, and I've had one there for as long as I can remember. I tried the same trick in Excel and found it initially useless because it wasn't active when I was typing in a cell. An Excel MVP tested it and found that if I copied the command from the Insert menu (instead of dragging it from Customize), it would work as desired, but who would have thought of that? -- Suzanne S.
