How do I bold a single menu item? I know how to control the font for the whole CommandBars object but I want to control the font for a single menu item. I want this item to stand out and I figured bolding it would work well but there are no font controls for individual menu items.

but don't forget that this make the menuitem default one meaning that if i clic on the menu title twice then this is the menuitem that would be clicked.

seems i can also have two default items in a menu items list, which to me(according to marc's explanation) can be a loop hole. guess we shud have specific property for font :)

As a long-time Windows user, I don't think I have ever thought about double-clicking a menu title in order to perform the action of a "default" menu item. It doesn't seem like having a default menu item is normal behavior for a program (I haven't found one yet that implements this). I'm not too worried about this in my program so I can live with using the default item option in order to bold a single menu item.
I also found the loophole for having more than one default item. It seems that double-clicking will execute the first visible default item. I thought I could disable the double-click by by having the first default menu item being a invisible option that doesn't do anything but it wasn't fooled.
Make that two votes for having a font property for each menu item.
