When i click the drop down Tools tab in Word, i have
nearly 30 Mail Merge lines.  They seem to be gradually
increasing as a few months ago there were around 10.  I do
not know why they are multiplying as i do not even use
mail merge.  Does anybody know or have any ideas as to
what i can do to get rid of them ?  Thank you.

These are attributable to a bug in the Microsoft Works for Windows add-in.

This add-in causes loads of problems and you are unlikely to miss it.

When you remove the Word in Works Suite Add-in:

You remove Word 2000 from the Works Suite Task Launcher.
You lose the word processor functions on the Works Suite Task Launcher.

You must start Word 2000 in the following manner:  Click Start, point to
Programs, and then click Microsoft Word

Uninstall it as follows:
 1.. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 2.. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 3.. Click Word in Works Suite Add-in, and then click Add/Remove.
 4.. Click Next, click Remove, and then click Next.
 5.. Click Remove, and then click Finish.
 6.. Click OK, and then close Control Panel.

You should then be able to drag all but one entry from the Word Tools menu,
using Tools > customize
