Hiya,
Well there's no direct route for a Node to tell you what TYPE it is. What u could do is ask it who its Parent is? If on exists you get the associated key. If not, well then its a Root. Thats about all i can think of....

John, this works for Word97 (should work fine for Word 2000):

Option Explicit

Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetMenuItemCount Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function DrawMenuBar Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400&
Private Const MF_REMOVE = &H1000&


Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim hSysMenu As Long
Dim nCnt As Long
Dim lhwnd As Long

    'Get Handle to MS Word
    lhwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Microsoft Word - Document1")
    
    'Get Handle to its System Menu
    hSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(lhwnd, False)

    If hSysMenu Then
    'Get System menu's menu count
    nCnt = GetMenuItemCount(hSysMenu)

        If nCnt Then
        
            'Menu count is based on 0 (0, 1, 2, 3...)
        
            RemoveMenu hSysMenu, nCnt - 1, _
            MF_BYPOSITION Or MF_REMOVE
        
            'Remove the Separator
            RemoveMenu hSysMenu, nCnt - 2, _
            MF_BYPOSITION Or MF_REMOVE 
        
           'Force caption bar's refresh. Disabling X button
           DrawMenuBar Me.hwnd
        End If
    End If

End Sub
