I successfully added my macro to Word's Edit Menu (using Rearrange) but need
to know how to add it to the pop-up menu you get when you right-click (the
menu that displays copy, paste etc.).

I want to add my macro (that executes Paste Special > Unformatted) to that
list too so my users can access it from there as well as the pulldown Edit
menu but I don't know what it's called & how to access it.

I've used VBA before so if it can only be done programmatically, that's
okay. I just need help figuring out what to do/use to add it.

Many Thanks

There are actually many "shortcut menus", depending on where you
click, and you may need to add your macro item to several of them. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm,
particularly steps 2c and 4.
 
You can add it manually, just like adding it to a regular menu. In the
customize mode, display the shortcuts toolbar and the one you are looking
for is probably under Text > Text.
