    I am not sure about disabling menu items in Office 2003 (haven't used it
    yet...) However, for Office 2000/XP it is part of the MS delivered ADM
    templates (GPO - Administrative Templates) with the Office Resource kit.

    Also custom templates can be written for this purpose. Following example
    handles disabling of File-Send To in Office XP (version 10). From this
    example you should be able to extract the corresponding key from the
    registry, as well as build you own template(s) for disabling office items.

    CLASS USER

       CATEGORY !!CustomSettings

         CATEGORY !!OfficeSettings

           CATEGORY !!MSWord

             POLICY !!DisabledMenus

    ; In order to find appropriate menu -ID- (number) use the Immediate
    window in VBA
    ; with the following command:
    ; ? commandbars ("menu bar").controls ("file").controls ("Send To").id
    ; Replacing control and id strings with menu names to be located

               EXPLAIN !!DisabledMenusExplain
