It's a limitation.

Hi Ken,

You can add items to "Menu Bar" and
create your own toolbar (CommandBar).

I tried this and failed adding a CommandBar when _reading_ an RTF
message with word (see sample code from original post). It does works
if I'm composing a message.

My Outlook Spy doesn't load its command bar in this mode either.

Just trying to work out if something in my setup is causing this
probelm, or if its a general Outlook/WordMail limitation.

thanks
