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 version 1.0

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.
