How do i add new "Menu Item" to word template and trap its click event?

[fromvenky]

Hi,

I'm new to word automation, any one help highly appreciate

I'm creating new Word Template file and I want to add a new menu item
to existing menu ie File and want to trap click event to it.

I tried with Tool->Customize Commands Tab. In categories selected "New
Menu" and from Command selected "New Menu" drag-drop to File menu but
it appears with sub-menu option

what i want is just a "menu item" without submenu option

anyone can help me on this?, it would be great help if u can send me
steps to create menu item in Word Template and basic code to trap menu
click event in VB automation

Thanks in advance

Regards
Venkatesh

Why are you trapping the click event?

You can use the Customize dialog to add to a menu or toolbar any macro, or
style, or AutoText entry you want. You can rename these. Using vba, you can
change the tooltip text assigned. What is it you want to trap the click
event to do?

Note, if you are using vba to actually change menus or toolbars, make sure
your customization context is set somewhere other than normal.dot and know
what this means.

you have trapped this info?

I think there's some confusion as to

1. Whether you're creating the template file on-the-fly, or will
distribute it?

2. Whether the template file may contain macro code to execute the menu
you want to add?

3. Or whether all code has to be in your VB application? And this is an
application, not a COM Add-in, correct?
