full menus (instead of partial, pause, then full)

[Larry__Weiss]

How do I configure XP to paint the full menus on apps like Word and Outlook, instead
of painting a partial menu, pausing, and then showing the full menu?

Right click on a blank area of the Menu bar and select Customize. You'll find this setting there.

Sounds like your Microsoft Office program Menu's are configured
to show recently used commands first. To "Switch between
personalized menus and full menus": On the Tools menu, click
Customize, and then click the Options tab. Then click to clear
the Menus show recently used commands first check box. Note that
the check box affects all your Microsoft Office programs. For
more information search Microsoft Word Help for the words in
double-quotes and read the topic by that title.
