How do I delete items in my Work Menu in WORD? This menu is one you can add
using "customise" and "built-in menus" in Commands the Tools menu. It
enables you to have a useful list of commonly used files a bit like the ones
that you can have added to the end of the main File menu, but these don't get
moved on as you open other files when looking around for old material etc.

Thanks for anyone who can shed light on this.

Richard,

Use the "terminator" cursor. I call it the terminator because it will
terminate any menu command you click with it.

Press CTRL+ALT+the hyphen/underscore key. The cursor converts to a thick
hyphen. Open the Work menu and click with this cursor.

Press ESC to terminate the terminator.

The work menu is one of my favorites but is no longer documented. See
