Tell us what you are really trying to do. That is, what do you want to do
with the "menu resources" when you find them?

Thanks Suzanne,
It has nothing to do with hacking the application, Just for a curiosity
I asked this question. I am studying the PE File format and using PE
Explorer to view dependecies of an EXE. While going through PE
Explorer, I found that PE Explorer shows up resources of a binary . but
when I opened MS Word using PE Explorer, it showed up all resources
excluding menu. As I am curious in nature, I tried to view resources of
all dependecies of MS Word, but no success so far. Thats why I thought
that I should post this question on groups and listen what experts
says.
Hope I would get answer of this question.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks,
AJay

Well, that's way over my head (since I don't even know what PE is). I was
trying to determine whether you were just trying to find out where Word
stores settings such as menu/toolbar contents and which menus/toolbars are
displayed, etc. (these settings are stored partly in Normal.dot and partly
in the Registry, as detailed in various KB articles on "Where Word settings
are stored").

I'm with Suzanne on this one - PE to me = gym class :-) But if it's of any
use to you, the Menu in Word is nothing more than a Toolbar which displays a
bit differently. Categorically referred to as Command Bars.
