Hi there
Does anyone know if it's possible to insert user defined menu items at
*any* given position in a Winword menu. I would for example like to
insert a separator line after _undo_ in the _edit_ menu, but whenever I
try this, Word places the separator at the *bottom* of the menu - most
irritating...
So if anyone knows how to do this (through macros or whatever) please mail
or post the answer - I'm just about to give up.
Thanks a lot

The only way to do what you want (in the current version -- who knows what version 2.0 might bring) is very awkward. For every built in macro you want your custom macro to come before, you would have to create a dummy macro to call the built in function (basically, create a bunch of custom macros) and place them after the one you want up on the list... So if you wanted FooBar to come before Exit, you would unassign FileExit, assign FooBar, create a second macro called FooExit that was simply Sub Main MacroRun "FileExit" End Sub And then assign it after FooBar. Not only awkward, but pricey: any of the built in menu items that would normally be greyed in certain circumstances (like in Outline Mode) would not grey (since they are user macros), and built in that have toggled check marks would not show check marks... All in all, not worth the trouble it seems to me, unless it is a really specific application type template that will be used once (for installation of a macro, say) and then disposed.... I can't see cluttering up my NORMAL.DOT with dummy macros...
