Adding item to right-click menu Word 2007

I run the ribbon minimized and use the Right-click on selected text to
format. The Underline function doesn't appear on that selection - is there a
way to add it?

I think a keyboard shortcut would be a lot more efficient. Use Ctrl-U to
turn the underlining on and off.

(Yes, I'm one of those. I only use the mouse if I absolutely have to.)

There are a number of different right-click menus that can appear in Word,
depending on the context. The following macro should add Underline to the
most common right-click menu in Word 2007:

Sub AddUnderlineToMenu()
'
' AddUnderlineToMenu Macro
' Macro recorded 7/17/2008 by
'
CommandBars("Formatting").Controls(8).Move Bar:=CommandBars("Text"), _
Before:=6
End Sub

I recorded this macro in Word 2003, then ran it in Word 2007... and it did
indeed add Underline to the right-click menu, just before Font.

But, like Jacinthe suggests, pressing Ctrl+U might be a more ergonomic
solution.
