Word Assistant Menu Items Always Selectable

ID: Q110576


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
  • Microsoft Word Assistant


SYMPTOMS

The following Word commands (installed by Word Assistant) remain available at all times, even when they should be disabled.


   Command                Menu
   -------                ----

   Special Paper          Insert
   Font Selector          Format
   Word Assistant Help    Help
   Special Paper Help     Help 


CAUSE

This happens when you use an add-in (.WLL) file to add a command to a Word 6.0 menu. Word does not allow a .WLL to control menu items other than inserting or deleting them. As a result, all Word Assistant menu items are always available.


MORE INFORMATION

The Font Selector displays properly if started during the use of a modal dialog, but the Font Selector doesn't apply or accept any changes until the modal dialog is closed.

If you invoke Insert Special Paper during the use of a modal dialog, it returns the following error message:

You cannot insert a Special Paper design into
a protected document. If you would like to
insert a Special Paper design into this
document, unprotect the document and try again.
The Help files can be started successfully.
