Open Word with a file editor such as FEdit or SUM Tools.  Do an ASCII search
for the menu name you want to shorten (such as 'Document').  Change the
number in front of the name (8 in the case of 'Document') to something
smaller (like 3 which will give you 'Doc').  Write the sector.

Aren't Microsoft products a pleasure to modify?

Cheers,

Alan
