Hide Word Menu Bar 1

[ghloid]

I am having trouble figuring out how to hide the Menu Bar in MS Word 2K. I would like to do this so that I can force the users to use my own developed toolbar. I have not yet found a possible solution for this. In searching the site, I found some great posts about hiding the Excel Menu Bar, as seen here:

However, I can't find the same type of code or figure out how to translate that to Word 2000 terms.

I have also tried setting the following code on the ThisDocument object of the MS Word Objects:

Private Sub Document_Open()
Application.CommandBars("Document Menu Bar").Enabled = False
End Sub

Seems to have no effect either.

Anyone else have any clues?

Thanks!!!

Hi
Have a look in the FAQs. I can't remember the exact number but it's one of mine about enabling/disabling commandbars etc.

I think it refers specifically to the Word Menubar

Happy Friday

If a man says something and there are no women there to hear him, is he still wrong?
How do I get the best answers?​

Whoops, meant to include this anyway!

CommandBars(36).Enabled = False

That seems to do the trick. I put my code as follows on the ThisDocument Object of the MS Word Objects:

Private Sub Document_Open()
CommandBars(36).Enabled = False
End Sub

I DID put a button to get to the VB code editor on one of my toolbars though, in case I want to see the menu bar again. That's something to consider if anyone else wants to use that code.

Thanks for the help Loomah!
