Word "WORK" Menu

[ranebow]

I've just found the "WORK" menu that you can create in WORD. I can add file names to it and use it to quickly open these files. Somewhat like the file list at the bottom othe FILE menu, but I can now add ONLY the files I want.

I can't find this option in Excel. Does anyone know how I can do the same thing?

Could you please describe the "WORK" menu in Word, and how you got it? Version please.

Hi,

Re Word:
If you go to View Toolbars Customize and select Commands, and then scroll down the Categories list you will find "Built In Menus" you will find a menu called Work which you can install like any other - just drag to where you want it. It lets you store up to 10 files there to provide easy access whenever you wish.

Re Excel:
Checkout this thread on the WOPR board:

Try the McGimpsey version as the one I provided there works on Excel 97 and 2000, but not XP.

Good Luck!

I don't find the WORK menu under the customize menu in Excel. I'm using 2000 for both Word & Excel.

Hi ranebow,

Re-read my email!

There is only a builtin Work menu in Word, to get one for Excel back to my email.

I'll be damned. learn something every day. I built my own, exact same menu, ages ago. Never knew it had its own.
