Create a Custom Sub-Menu in MS Office
Create a Custom Sub-Menu in MS Office

Do you copy and paste a lot of information from the web?
If you do, then you probably know that it can be a real hassle to always click Edit -> Paste Special (when necessary) when using an MS Office application.
So why not just put that Paste Special in a sub-menu?
To do so:
- Launch any MS Office Application (MS Word, MS Excel, MS Frontpage, etc).
- Right-click any menu or toolbar and select Customize.
- Select the Commands tab on the Customize dialog.
- Select New Menu from the Categories list. 'New Menu' will appear in the Commands list on the right.
- Click and Drag it to the target menu, where you want it the new menu to appear as a sub-menu.
- Right-click it to display its properties, to set the caption.
- Click it to display the sub-menu itself (initially just a little box off the right): drag the sub-menu commands to it, from other menus or from the Customize dialog.
