Re: Intercepting right mouse click - MS Word 2000>
Hi Ian
First, some terminology. What you see when you right-click the face of a
Word document is called a Shortcut menu.
There are many shortcut menus, and which one Word displays in response
to a right-click depends on what you right-clicked. For example, if you
right click in a field, you see the Fields menu, which includes the
Update Field command. But if you right-click in a footnote, you see the
Footnotes menu, which includes commands relating to footnotes.
So you have to decide which of the many shortcut menus you want to
customize. Doug's message explained how to do that. For more details,
see:
How to assign a Word command or macro to a toolbar or menu

Hope this helps.

Thanks Shauna
Never knew that, I must have always right clicked on a blank portion of the
document.
Makes sense now.
