*Very handy feature in Word. It's a menu where you can add th
documents you work most frequently with. Much better than the Recen
Files features because if you open other, infrequent ones, the one
you really want do not get pushed off the list...

Tools>customize>command, in the left pane scroll down to built in menus, in
the right scroll to Work, left click and hold and drag it to your toolbar..
Close the customize window.

I followed the link to McGimpsey's post but I couldn't
download the file. (FTP Explorer didn't show it in his
Excel folder).

I didn't see any different link on his MVP website.

Can someone help?

I'm the culprit, I'm afraid <sigh><g>! I wrote the site asking about the
glitches and the author got back to me saying they'd forgotten that file was
there and that they would remove it. It will apparently be ul again at some
point, but no date was given. I'll be emailing the site again over the
weekend to get a status.

Meanwhile, I have the original file and I know the code to fix one glitch
(thanks to a kind poster in this ng). If need be, I can email it to you, if
you like, from home as I don't have it here.

Pls advise.

I took it down because it was buggy, had no error checking, and one of
the key features didn't work (it was a one-off for someone to play with,
and I'd forgotten it was still there).

I liked the functionality, though, so I've completely reworked it since,
but I've not submitted it to anything like a rigorous beta test.

I expect I'll put up a beta version this weekend. When I do, I'll have a
link at

Thanks for the interest!

The updated file works just _great_! I tried and really like the
functionality you've built into it. Great job!

p.s., does anyone know if there is an equivalent to this for Word
2000, by any chance? I know it's OT, but this works so well, would
like to have something similar for Word, thanks!

I've been using the beta version of the Work Menu all week
and except for one tiny bug, it is working great!

One line of the code behind the Save button on the
WorkMenuEditForm was missing a period.

The line:
Range(.Cells, .Parent.Cells(Rows.Count, .Column +
2)).ClearContents

Should be:
Range(.Cells, .Parent.Cells(.Rows.Count, .Column +
2)).ClearContents

I have tried almost all of the features and have seen no
other errors. I have used this at home (WinXP, Excel2000)
and at work (Win2K, Excel2000). It does everything I need
it to do.

Thanks again, J.E.
