how to customize the Word menu bar.

[capslock]

I would like to remove say, the File->Open option from the menu.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks.

application.commandbars("Menu Bar&quot.controls("File&quot.controls("Open...&quot.visible=false

Make sure to set the visible property back to True when you are done - Word will remember the setting even after you close the application.

cheers Rob.

what about the open icon on the toolbar?

Can you recommend a book for these kinda queries?

I've not been impressed with the Word VBA books I've seen (Excel ones are typically better), but any of them will cover the basics. Read their reviews on Amazon.com (search for "Word VBA" to find the books) and decide which one sounds best.
For the toolbar, you can use:

application.CommandBars("Standard&quot.controls("Open...&quot.visible=False
