Title: Word troubles...
Post by: Hornet on March 04, 2004, 04:04:38 PM

For some of our coursework we have to add toolbars and the like to Word.  This is very easy in itself, but the school security policy has disabled the "customize" option that you see when you right-click the toolbar, which we need to get to.

It's almost certainly a key stored in the registry somewhere, but I've been Googling for the past hour without any luck.  If someone could shed any light on the issue, I'd appreciate it.

Well, that one approach I didn't think of!

They can't do anything about it, so I'm told.  And the Admins are useless (they've asked me for help before) so there's no danger of them solving it.

So I just put on the coursework "Sorry, this is impossible on the school computers, but I can do it, honest?!"

I just need to find the key (no pun intended) and then I can sort it.

/me smacks Galmort and Lord Lanair with his baka stick :cool:

something tells me that you can't just go to the [View], [Toolbar], [Customize]
or the key route: Alt V, T, C ;)
that's the best I can do... :(

Isn't that what evil wanted?  Conversation here?  LOL

he's got a point, evil did want us to spam here :)

There's a difference between conversation and spam...

The Alt, T, V, C gives you exactly the same menu as you get by right-clicking the toolbar, and customize is still disabled.  Thanks anyway.

I figured the screwyness of microsoft's programming would provide a whole by let you access the same thing in different ways... it works sometimes.  
Most of microsoftss work needs some good old-fashioned hacking to stop it for being so damn wasteful and from being so full of wholes.  But then again, that would only make microsoft stronger, that could be bad.
