That's beautiful, and it works.  Thanks Claude.  Now I can reset all my menu's 
for OOo2.2 usage, and not have the next run of smart "fix" them all right up 
by re-installing OOo-2.0.4 for the 3rd time.  Yeah, that's been another sore 
point at the old coyotes den here in WV.

But I have to ask again, where in tuncket are the docs on this stuff?  Why do 
Ric and I, and lots of others by inference, have to hit the end of our rope 
and blow up using 3 and 4 letter words before info such as this is made 
available?

There is something very very wrong with this picture.

Thanks again, Claude
