This article was previously published under Q127059 SYMPTOMS
When several templates are attached as global templates or are placed in
the Word Startup folder and those templates contain custom menus of
the same name, the resulting menu bar in Word will reflect each instance of
the custom menu name. However, the right-most custom menu will contain all
the submenu entries from each of the custom menus.
CAUSE
Word allows you to add custom menus to the menu bar. You can add submenu
items within the menu selection. By default, Word prevents you from adding
a custom menu with the same name as another menu within the same template.
However, Word does not cross-check between templates to prevent you
from adding the same custom menu name in multiple templates.
WORKAROUND
Use different custom menu names when the templates are to be used in
conjunction with each other.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in
Microsoft Word 97 for Windows and Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition.
