Add new menu items - Word 2003

[gav12345]

Hi all,

This is hopefully a very straightforward question. I've inherited a lot of Word 2003 VBA code which deals with various print options. Specifying page settings then printing to a specific printer tray - that sort of thing. The VBA is part of the Global.dot file.

The VBA code is run when a user selects a custom menu option from the toolbar (there's one added toolbar option and several menu items below that).

My question is...how exactly do I add new menu options?? This doesn't seem to have been done programmatically for the existing items, so how do I achieve this?

Thanks for any suggestions, Gavin

It's OK, got this. I just manually add the options to our global.dot file using this method:

...then just reference the modified global.dot file as normal in Tools > Templates and Add-Ins when I open a new Word doc.
