Thanks, Jay. THat does clear it up. I'll bookmark those two links (yes I do
have Office 2003 still on, but I'll uninstall it as soon as I get the paid
version of 2007 on, b/c I've read that there is a bit of a slowdown with
both versions installed at once). I'll be sure to look at the 2003 method
before I do that. This will be a project for a weekend when I've got a bit
of free time.
Its an inconvenience, but it doesn't steam me, actually. Having just gotten
over a round of trials with open-source versions of word processors, the
"problems" I have with Word are really just how much can I push the
software, instead of "how long will it take to load?" or "Can I even tweak
the toolbars at all?" like I have with the, well, competition is a bit too
strong of a word, but you know what I mean.

Hi Paul,
Last things first... It has nothing to do with the trial version; all
copies of
Word 2007 (and all other ribbon-based Office 2007 programs) have the same
limitation.
No, the Quick Access Toolbar icons are not customizable. The Modify button
is
available only for macros, not for built-in commands; and that allows you
only
to choose from the relatively small number of icons in the palette that
appears.
If that steams you as much as it does you, you'll need to learn a bit
about
customizing the ribbon itself. Greg Maxey has done a terrific job of
writing
about that: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm. If you still
have
access to a copy of Word 2003, you can use Graham Mayor's method from
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm.
