Right-click shortcuts
Hi all
Is it possible to add your own shortcuts to a 'right-click' list? In other words, when using tables and you can right-click to insert row/column etc. I 'split tables' a lot. Is it possible to customise the right-click menus so you can add your own functions?? Thank you. Louise |

Right-click a toolbar and click Customize. In the Customize dialog
box, click the Toolbars tab. Select the Shortcut menus item. Word will display a toolbar with its context menus and you'll be able to customize them just like you customize any toolbar in a document. Note, however, that there are many different categories, which means that you may have to add/remove options in several several locations to get the behavior you want! While you are in the Customize dialog, consider to specify a keyboard shortcut for the functions you use most frequently. This can save a lot of time. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Louise" wrote in message ... Hi all Is it possible to add your own shortcuts to a 'right-click' list?

Hi
Thank you for your reply. I have tried this and it does let me add icons etc. to the existing toolbars, however, I wanted to add an option in a 'right click' menu rather than an actual toolbar. For example, when I create a table, I want to be able to right-click inside it and choose 'split table' which, by default, doesn't appear. Is this possible? Thank you.

The Shortcut Menus toolbar represents Word's context (right-click)
menus. Once you have displayed that toolbar, click the Commands tab in the Customize dialog box, locate the TableSplit command (it's in the All Commands category), and then drag it to the appropriate location. For example, you can drag it to TableTable Text on the Shortcut Menus toolbar. Then the Split Table command will display when the insertion point is in a table cell (but not when the cell is selected). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Louise" wrote in message ...

Yes, and Stefan told you how to do it, but you didn't read carefully.
Perhaps it's easier to understand with pictures; see section 2(c) of http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for this. Eventually got it to work a treat.
I didn't realise that's what the shortcut menu toolbar was for. Thanks again. Louise "Stefan Blom" wrote: The Shortcut Menus toolbar represents Word's context (right-click) menus.
