SUMMARY

By default, the Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) menu has three separator lines. There is no built-in command that allows you to add a new separator line. This article explains how to add additional separator lines to the MOM menu.

MORE INFORMATION

To add a separator line to the MOM menu, use the following steps:

1. Create and save a text document on the hard disk. Save the file with

   the following name

   ----(Separator)---

   and close the document.

   NOTE: You can use any text editor program, for example, SimpleText, to
   create the text document.

2. On the MOM menu, click Customize.

3. Click New.

4. In the dialog box that appears, locate and click the text document you

   created in step 1.

5. Click Add.

6. Click the UP ARROW or the DOWN ARROW keys in the Microsoft Office

   Manager dialog box to move the separator line.

7. Click to clear the Include Menu Icons check box.

8. Close the Microsoft Office Manager dialog box.

The separator line you created appears on the MOM menu.

NOTE: Step 7 is required for the procedure to work. If you do not clear the Include Menu Icons check box, the text file appears as an ordinary file and is opened if you click it.
