Word 2003 File Menu Entry Delete?

I uninstalled ScanSoft OmniPage SE 2.0 and installed the newer version SE 4. In Word 2003, when I click on File, I see two entries for the older SE 2.0 and two entries for the new SE 4. I want to delete the two entries for SE 2.0. One tip said to use the combo keys Ctrl.%26gt;Alt. plus the hiphen key to turn the cursor into a hiphen symbol and then use it to click on the File Menu entry to remove it. This does not work. I have removed all files in C referencing OmniPage 2.0 and all Registry keys referencing it, but the two entries still appear in Word's File Menu.

Word 2003 File Menu Entry Delete?
You should be able to delete menu entries this way:





1. Press CTRL/V followed by CTRL/T. This will bring up the Toolbars menu.


2. Click Customize down at the bottom.


3. Click the menu item you want to delete and drag it off the menu. This should get rid of it. Be careful not to drag it to another menu or toolbar.


4. Do the same for any other items you want to get rid of.


5. When you're finished, click the Close button.





You might get a warning later about changing the Global template (normal.dot). This is a security measure to prevent viruses from modifying the template behind your back. Since you made this change, click OK.





That should do it.
