Default Cannot add icon to toolbar; could not drag the command

It certainly sounds like the toolbars are protected but |I don't know what
would cause it on your home machine.

You could try resetting the toolbars -- Tools Customize Toolbars tab,
Select Standard and press Reset, and then select Formatting and press Reset.

If that doesn't help, I wonder if you have some corruption. You could try
Detect and Repair. Try deleting (or renaming) Normal.dot - but if this is a
brand new installation on a reformatted hard disk it all seems rather
unlikely.

Yes. When I try to drage from the command list, the X stays and nothing
happens when I let go on the toolbar.

I don't think so. This is my home computer. An attempt to update my

Nortons
screwed up my hard drive so much, it had to be reformatted. I use the
Letters & Labels feature a lot, so would like to have the icon on the

toolbar
again.

What sort of 'reformatting' have you had done to your computer.

Could it
be
a misguided IT department has disabled customization for some of

your
toolbars?

It's Word 2003. I cannot add any icons to the toolbar following

the
directions:

Tools/customize/commands/chose category Tools/chose command

Envelopes
and
Labels. When I drage the icon, there is a box with an X.

Hi

What version of Word do you have? Can you add any other buttons

to
your
toolbar, or is it just the Envelope button that is the problem?

Can
you
tell
us exactly what steps you are following?

I had put the envelopes icon on the toolbar on my computer, but

the
computer
had to be reformatted, and now I cannot add the envelopes icon

to
the
toolbar. I followed the instructions, but the command cannot

be
dragged
to
the toolbar. When I try, a box with an X appears.
