The little white box with a small black arrow in the bottom left will tell you its a Shortcut, regardless of it having "Shortcut to" preceeding the name.

Of course with TweakUI you can disable this arrow also ;-)

224500 2004-03-23 22:06:00 I disagree with whiskeytangofoxtrot re the Office Shortcut toolbar being a horrible thing. It came with Office 97, Office 2000 and XP. It has only just been dropped with the latest Office, much to my disappointment.

BernieL, if you wish to try using the Office Toolbar it can be found under Programs, Microsoft Office Tools (if using Office 2000 or XP). If you have Office 97, you have to load it from the CD as it is not installed automatically under normal install.
