Menu like Office 97

I have Delphi 4 and I try to build a menu like Office 97 from Microsoft.

To do this I use a TMainMenu component to build my menu like usual, but
I let the Menu property from my main form to Nil..
Then I use a TToolBar inside a TcoolBar component. I insert new buttons
in my TtoolBar. I set To True the TToolBars properties ShowCaprion and
Flat. Each buttons are attach to the menu by the MenuItem property.
Finally the Grouped property are set to True.

Now when I execute my programme the menu looks like Microsoft Office.
But my problem is when I use a MDI application. The menu is not refresh
automatically.
The second problem, when I realise an OLE component with Word the words
menu doesnt appear in my application. To resume the fusions menu
doesnt work.

Why ?

Thanks for your help.

The TMenuBar component is only to simplify the work, but the result is the
same as mine. And so, the fusion's menu doesn't works again.
