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 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?
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.

Subject: [mso] Customize Excel Shortcut Menus
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.
