Custom Menus in Word 2007?
We are considering an upgrade to Office and aren't sure if we'll go to 2003
or 2007. We currently use Office/Word 2000 and have hundreds of templates and some custom menus to run the templates. Most of the templates have vba code in them that runs on FileNew. If we upgrade to Office 2007 I believe we lose the ability to create the custom Word menus. So my question is....what other options are there for accessing the templates if we go to 2007? The standard Word FileNew dialog (even if it's the same in 2007) is not an option because of the number of template folders. We had considered InfoPath and/or Sharepoint but not having actually seen them in operation, are not really sure what might be a suitable replacement for the menus. There must be others out there pondering the same questions. Any ideas or comments would be much appreciated. -- Thanks... Adri |

Your current menus & toolbars will appear on the Add-Ins tab.
You can create items on the Ribbon using RibbonX. So, what would you like to do?
