I agree with you Linda. After your response I did a little
more checking because I wondered why you aren't able to
change the right click menus in Excel. I think it is
because they are context sensitive, and change, depending on
where you are in Excel. There are only 3 in Word, but I
think there are more in Excel and that makes it more
difficult.
And the Paste Special in Excel has always been there, again
depending on where you are right clicking. I have a brand
new install of Office 2003 on a new laptop and I checked it.
Also, thanks for answering to both lists. I generally don't
post questions to multiple lists but after I posted to the
Excel list it dawned on me that it was late, west coast time
and I wouldn't get answers until the next day. I can't
check any yahoogroup mail at work, but I do get this list at
work, so I figured I'd get an answer at work the next day
here.
Thanks for help.
Christine

Hi Andrew. I do not believe the shortcut menus changes are
global to all Office programs if you change them in one, but
I could be wrong. But, you could try it and see. Change
one in Word, then close Word and open Excel and see if it
changed there too. But, I doubt it. The Shortcut menu
change option is available in Word, PowerPoint, and Access
(I think), but in Excel, it has always required VBA, to my
knowledge.
Remember that shortcut menu options are related to specific
tasks...they are "context sensitive". Depending on what you
are doing, you will have different options in your shortcut
menus ... As far as Paste Special goes, I've always had that
in my Excel shortcut menu, but only when I do certain
things, and I never added that anywhere.
But, to answer your question, you can follow the
instructions here, in Word, and see if that adds the same
shortcut in Excel, but I doubt it, since my understanding is
these changes, in Word, are stored in normal.dot and
normal.dot is certainly not available in other Office
programs.
Adding stuff to shortcut menus, instructions from Microsoft:

I am interested in what you say, Linda. A while back I added
"Paste Special"
to my right-click menu in Word (I do not remember how I did
it now, but I may have followed instructions from
Mousetrax). Later I found that I also have "Paste Special"
in my Excel right-click menu. I may be wrong, but I don't
remember it being there before, so are the right-click menus
at least in part something global throughout Office?
