When I click the Tools button the drop menu shows multiple (more than 20) Mail Merge selections. Only one has a right arrow for an additional drop menu. What are the other Mail Merge selections and how do I get rid of them? They clutter up the drop menu.

Hi Bob,

The following was originally posted by fellow MVP Graham Mayor:

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 menu, using
Tools > customize
