adding a link to a doc in a custom menu "Bert" <bwhittier[ at ]verizon.net> 12/27/2008 2:41:24 PM I'm using Word 2003. Can someone point me to instructions for placing a link to a Word doc in an existing custom menu. There are several documents I update repeatedly, and it would be nice to be able to simply click on the menu, then on the item and have it load. I know I can do this by creating a macro and then placing the macro, but it seems cleaner if I can place a link directly to the doc. Thanks. Bert
