Work Menu What use is it ?

You can add the Work menu to your Toolbar quite easily but before telling you how the question is why should you ?

The Work menu is a menu that stores links to any document that you choose. It is unlike the links in the File menu. The Work menu can actually be used to store links to whatever files you choose, regardless of how long it's been since you've actually used the file. Really until you use this facility you do not realize it’s full potential, once you do you will find that you are always using it.

However, there will be times when you will wish to remove one of the files, so let us deal with that situation first.

Hold down **//Ctrl + Alt +//** **// _ //** (Underscore [Shift + Hyphen] ). This converts the mouse pointer into a large, dark minus sign. Place the mouse pointer on the Work menu. Select ( Click ) the file which you wish to remove from the list with the minus sign, Voila it as been immediately removed.

 * __How to create the Work Menu:-__**

Go to :-
 * // Tools //** //> ** Customize > Commands tab **//
 * Scroll down to **** //Built-in Menus// ** on the right-hand side scroll down to **// Work //**//.//

Click and drag to the **Toolbar**


 * __How to use it :-__**

First Save your work as you would have done normally with a title and location etc. Then click on the **//Work//** menu, This will open a window:- "** Add to Work Menu **." Word will then add a link to the currently active document to the menu. Note :- If your current document hasn't been saved, the choice to add will not be accessible. Word must have a file name and save the location to add a link. Now, whenever you need to access this file, there is no need now to go through :- **//File > Open and Scroll ,//**
