Alternate Menu Shortcut

[Guest]

When I right click my mouse I get a long menu list on a popup which shows
next to the the current active cell. There are too many items on this popup.
Is there a way a can make it so only the Copy and Paste show up on this list.

Thank you for your help.

Yes this is possible

You can run this macro (not possible manual)

Sub Change_Cell_Menu()
Dim IDnum As Variant
Dim N As Integer
Dim Ctl As CommandBarControl

'Set Enabled to False for all the controls
For Each Ctl In CommandBars("Cell").Controls
On Error Resume Next
Ctl.Enabled = False
On Error GoTo 0
Next Ctl

'Now set Enabled to True for the controls you want
IDnum = Array("22", "19")
For N = LBound(IDnum) To UBound(IDnum)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Cell").FindControl(ID:=IDnum(N), _
Recursive:=True).Enabled = True
On Error GoTo 0
Next N
End Sub

Sub All_Cell_Menu_Controls_Enabled_True()
'Set Enabled to True for all the controls in the Cell menu
Dim Ctl As CommandBarControl
For Each Ctl In CommandBars("Cell").Controls
On Error Resume Next
Ctl.Enabled = True
On Error GoTo 0
Next Ctl
End Sub

Ron,

This is really nice. I also included a Ctl.Visible = False which caused no
items to appear in the menu. What do I do so I see only the Copy and Paste
commands in the menu.

Thank you,

Steven

Use this then

Sub Change_Cell_Menu()
Dim IDnum As Variant
Dim N As Integer
Dim Ctl As CommandBarControl

'Set Enabled to False for all the controls
For Each Ctl In CommandBars("Cell").Controls
On Error Resume Next
Ctl.Visible = False
On Error GoTo 0
Next Ctl

'Now set Enabled to True for the controls you want
IDnum = Array("22", "19")
For N = LBound(IDnum) To UBound(IDnum)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Cell").FindControl(ID:=IDnum(N), _
Recursive:=True).Visible = True
On Error GoTo 0
Next N
End Sub

Sub All_Cell_Menu_Controls_Visible _True()
'Set Enabled to True for all the controls in the Cell menu
Dim Ctl As CommandBarControl
For Each Ctl In CommandBars("Cell").Controls
On Error Resume Next
Ctl.Visible = True
On Error GoTo 0
Next Ctl
End Sub
