= SUMMARY =

Frequently used documents can be added to menus for easy access in Micorosoft Word for the Macintosh. Once a document is added to the menus, it can be opened by selecting the document’s name from the menu.

To add a document to a menu in Word 4.0 or later, follow these steps:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Commands.
 * 2) Scroll through and select “Open File Name:” from the command list.
 * 3) Click the large “Open File…” button (located to the left of the “Do” button in Word 4.0 or the “Do It” button in Word 5.0) and select a document from the Open File dialog box. Click the “Open” button. The name of the file will will appear above the large “Open File…” button.
 * 4) By default, Word places documents under the Work menu unless another menu is selected by clicking the Menu arrow and selecting another menu. Select a different menu if desired.
 * 5) Click the Add button to add the filename to the menu.
 * 6) Click Cancel to exit the dialog box.

To use another method to add a document to the Work menu, follow these steps:


 * 1) Open the file to be added to the Work menu.
 * 2) Press COMMAND+OPTION+= (equal sign on the main keyboard). This changes the mouse cursor to a bold plus sign.
 * 3) Click on the title bar of the file opened in step 1.

To add a document to the Work menu in Word 3.0, 3.01, or 3.02, follow these steps:


 * 1) Press COMMAND+OPTION+= (equal sign on the main keyboard). This changes the mouse cursor to a bold plus sign.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Open.
 * 3) Select the file to add to the Work menu and click Open.

If no Work menu previously existed, one is created automatically. In Word 3.0, 3.01, and 3.02, a document cannot be added to any menu except the Work menu.
