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?
