Re: Can't delete from Work menu

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The "remove from Work menu" shortcut may not work properly if the zoom
feature in the System Preferences' Universal Access section is enabled.
Check the System Preferences to see if this feature has not been activated
by any chance; if yes, disable it, and hitting Option+Command+- should
remove entries from the Work menu once again. I have just verified, and this
keyboard shortcut still works on Intel Macs.

All of a sudden I cannot remove documents from the Work pulldown menu.
Just as the Help file describes, this used to be a simple matter of
hitting Option/Command and the Minus Sign at which time the cursor
changed to a large Minus Sign itself. Then any document clicked on in
the Work menu would be taken off the list. Now, my Word 2004 on a new
Intel iMac G5 won't change the cursor at all, and therefore nothing
can be deleted from the Work menu. "Add to Work Menu", on the other
hand, functions fine.
Any idea what happened or a way to fix it?
