Do you use the minus at the top of the keyboard, Beth? That works for me and
on colleagues' Macs (Word 2001).

In Word 2001, that didn't work for me, because after doing Tools ->
Customize the "temporary" Work menu only showed "Add to menu" and "(List of
Work files)". Scrolling to the Work menu in the "Customize" window, I could
not remove menu items.
