Remove Menu Items
-----------------

To disable the Close command or any item on the Document System menu list run the
following lines of code. By making an item not visible, it is removed from the
menu list and unavailable to the user, whether the document is docked or
windowed on the screen.

     Sub HideMenuItems()
        CommandBars("System").Controls("&Close").Visible = False
        CommandBars("System").Controls("&Restore").Visible = False
        CommandBars("System").Controls("&Move").Visible = False
        CommandBars("System").Controls("&Size").Visible = False
        CommandBars("System").Controls("Mi&nimize").Visible = False
        CommandBars("System").Controls("Ma&ximize").Visible = False
     End sub

NOTE: When you type the name of the menu item, you must type the name as it
appears in the menu list (with no spaces and the "&" representing the "hot
key").

Restore Menu items
------------------

To restore the system menu items, you must run the following macro.

NOTE: Closing and restarting Word does not restore the menu items.

     Sub RestoreMenu()
        CommandBars("System").Reset
     End sub

Disable Keyboard Shortcut
-------------------------

To disable the keyboard shortcut key assigned to the DocClose macro, run the
following code:

     Sub DisableKeyboard()
        CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
        FindKey(BuildKeyCode(wdKeyW, wdKeyControl)).Disable
        FindKey(BuildKeyCode(wdKeyF4, wdKeyControl)).Disable
     End Sub

Assign or Reset Keyboard Shortcut Keys
--------------------------------------

To assign the default values and functionality, run one of the following Visual
Basic for Applications macros:

     Sub EnableKeyBoard()
        CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate

        KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyF4, wdKeyControl), _
           KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, Command:="DocClose"

        KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyW, wdKeyControl), _
           KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, Command:="DocClose"
     End Sub

-or-

     Sub Macro7()
        'Resets all keyboard key assignment to there default
        CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
        KeyBindings.ClearAll
     End Sub
