Excel 97 menu items

[Oldjay]

Can you edit names of the menu bar pull down items that were made in Excel 97
in Excel 2003?

Maybe...

Try
Tools|Customize
Rightclick on the name you want to change and change the Name.

But if you're creating the toolbar in code, I would think it would be better to
just change the code to use the name you want.

 

[Oldjay]

When I do what you suggested all of the pull down items are grayed out.
The items are assigned to a macro I can change the inside the Macro to do
what I want but that doesn't change the pull down name (which is different
than the macro name).

How was the toolbar built?

If it was in code, then there's an option to prohibit changes to the toolbar.
But then you could just change the name in the code.

You sure these were created in Excel 97?

Maybe you saved an older original Excel 95 workbook where the menu items were
created by the Menu Editor.

If this is the case, you cannot get rid of them without some code.

Jim Rech provides an addin named RemoveMenus which will get rid of them.
