To add a separator line to a menu, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
  2. Click the Toolbars tab, and then click to select the Menu Bar check box.

    A menu bar will appear above your other toolbars.
  3. On the new menu bar, click the menu to which you want add a separator.
  4. Press the CONTROL key and click the command over which you want to have a separator.
  5. On the shortcut menu that appears, click Begin A Group.
