Help! Help! Help!

I want to change the menu names in MS Word 3.0. 

Why? Because they are too long, and since I have a clock and other MENU
titles in the MenuBar, things are getting too close for comfort.

How would I normally proceed? Use ResEdit or REdit, open up MENU resource
etc.

The problem: MicroSoft tricked us, and they put all the CODE in one place
in the resource file. I believe it's called PCOD, ID=2, and it is big! Its
size is 310818 bytes. Thus I cannot open it within ResEdit or REdit. Disk
editors aren't good for this. Though I can use them, say Fedit Plus, to read
the stuff, I can't change the code because I cannot shorten words with disk
editors, unless I want to screw up the stuff. Am I right?

The solution: (Well guys, here comes your input). 

P.S. Hi MicroSoft, are you listening? I will appreciate your help!
