Solved: Temp Menus in Word

[MWE]

I am running Word2000. I have a general menu creation proc that works in all MS applications. It reads menu information from an xl spreadsheet and builds the appropriate menu in the target application. I have used it for several years quite successfully. I have noticed an inconsistency when using it "from" Word. The initial menu creation code that puts the top level menu in the Menu Bar clearly indicates that it is a "temporary" menu. In Excel, this means that when Excel exits, the menu disappears. In Word, that does not happen. The menu is permantently a part of the Menu Bar until I manually or programmatically remove it.

I have checked that the code is executing in Word the same way as it executes in Excel and find no inconsistencies.

Any idea what might be going on here? :dunno

Unfortunately, what is going on here is that the Temporary argument in adding a menu control does not work in Word :mkay

It is a frequently-occurring source of frustration for me.

Patrick is correct - there is a problem with Temporary:=True in Word 2000 (and earlier). The good news is that it is fixed in later versions.
