When you start the macro recorder and then try to open a shortcut menu by
clicking the right mouse button (or by holding down CONTROL and clicking
the mouse button on the Macintosh), Microsoft Word beeps and nothing
happens.
MORE INFORMATION
Shortcut menus are context-sensitive, which means that Word determines
which menu to open based on the selection you click with the mouse. While
the macro recorder is running, you cannot use the mouse to move the
insertion point or select text, so, by design, you cannot open a shortcut
menu that is based on a mouse selection.
NOTE: When you record a macro, you can still use the mouse to click menu
commands or to scroll with the scroll bars.
