Is it better to be an idiot officially or unofficially? g Glad you figured
out what the problem was, anyway!

I'm officially an idiot. I think I was basing my styles on whatever the
previous syle I had selected. No wonder they didn't work!!

Thanks again for all the help.

No, I have no idea. I have only a single template that has such a
toolbar,
with a dozen or so styles, and they all work correctly.

Thanks Suzanne! I got one button working. When I added a second
button,
it
doesn't seem to do anything when it is pressed. I know the style
(bodycopy)
is ok because I can toggle between the 2 styles in the styles by
clicking
in
the formatting pane. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Have a great weekend!

You need Customize | Commands | Styles (not Format), then select the
desired
style and drag it to the toolbar.

Thanks Terry. Guess it has been awhile since I did any Word
projects.
I
am
trying to add a button to a toolbar that will apply formatting to
the
text
I'm not sure what I'm missing. I am selecting Add/Remove Buttons,
customize,
commands, format, style and that is where my choices stop. How do I
select
the style I want the button to apply? When I drag the button to the
tool
bar
it has the wrong style on it.

Thanks again for the help!!

Providing it is a paragraph style, if the insertion point is
anywhere
in
the
paragraph and you select the style, it is applied to the whole
paragraph.
You only get problems if you have selected part of the paragraph
and
then
change the style.

That helped alot, but what do I have to do to get the style to
apply
to
the
whole paragraph without selecting all of the text?

Thanks again!!

akkrug was telling us:
akkrug nous racontait que :

How do I set up a toolbar with buttons that will apply custom
formatting to a Word doc (either the whole paragraph or just
selected
text) when the buttons are pressed?

Thanks for the help!
