right-click paragraph missing inside table

[shank]

How do I edit paragraph attributes inside a table cell? Right-click >
Paragraph is gone. Outside the table, no problem.

thanks!

Either add the paragraph option to the context (right-click) menu or use the
main toolbar. How depends on which version of Word you are using.

I cannot find a reference in the HELP as to how to customize the contet
menu. Suggestions?

thanks!

Well, there is no easy way to customize context menus in Word 2007,
unfortunately.

That's an option that was destroyed in Word 2007. You'll have to use the
Paragraph dialog by clicking on the launch arrow in the Paragraph Group on
the Home Ribbon.

It should still be possible to add/remove stuff on the context menus with a
macro, though I haven't tested in Word 2007.

Say to add the "Paragraph..." control to the "Table Text" context menu:

CommandBars("Table Text").Controls.Add ID:=779

And to remove it again:

Dim myCB As CommandBar
Set myCB = CommandBars("Table Text")
Dim myCBC As CommandBarControl

For Each myCBC In myCB.Controls
If myCBC.ID = 779 Then
myCBC.Delete
End If
Next

You can retrieve the needed ID (here 779) looking it up on some toolbar or
menu where you know the command is found (or where you have temporarily
placed it):
? CommandBars("Format").Controls(2).Caption,
CommandBars("Format").Controls(2).ID

Or you might look it up on some lists available from Microsoft or from the
web (... though I don't have a link handy).
The names of the context menus (here "Table Text") can also be hard to
figure out.
