Linda, I think you are probably right. But, I did find another site
last night that referred to this, but I will have to wait until I get
home to see if I can find that site again. But at this point, I don't
see the option available anywhere, and I'm going to talk to the employee
again today to see if he could be thinking of Word.
Thanks,=20

I seriously think Microsoft screwed up those instructions, Christine. On
that page you sent us, if you click the link at the bottom that says
"Next", you will see the actual step by step instructions are for Word,
not Excel.
If you open Word, you WILL see the Shortcut menu in the Toolbars list in
Tools>Customize. However, I have NEVER seen it in Excel. I think MS=20
Tools>just
goofed and used the same instructions for Excel that they already had
for Word.
As far as I know, the only way you've ever been able to change the
shortcut menus in Excel is thru VBA ... Maybe it's possible someone did
that on the machine in question. Or maybe they are remembering doing it
in Word, and not Excel?=20
But, if you look at the picture on that MS page, you will see the
Shortcut Menu Toolbar shows "Text, Table, Draw" ... That pretty much
proves it a Word thing and not an Excel thing, cuz "Table" is not a menu
in Excel.

Someone in my office today called, said they used to be able to
customize the right-click shortcut menu by Selecting customize from the
view toolbars menu, then on the Toolbar tab of the customize box and
select shortcut menu, then select the shortcut menu to be customized but
since we got Excel 2003, they've not been able to. The provided the
following link to MS training that shows how to do this.
