Customize macro button images
When I ran Word 2000, I had 7 customised macro buttons (made in the inbuilt
icon designer) on my toolbar showing text indicating the use of each button. Most of the buttons created a letter template and the remainder auto text addresses. They were always visible and single click, job done. Now I can't use the macro route as the button images provided are meaningless. I've tried auto text, but the text just gets the default style treatment. I could save individual templates but that means opening them first. Have I missed something blindingly obvious? I've seen the references to Excel QAT files. Life is too short to mess about with that depth of programming. A simple bitmap generator would have sufficed. Please turn back the clock and make the arduous simple. I'm sorry Microsoft, Word 2000 worked for me. I seem to be working FOR word 2007. |

I'm sorry Microsoft, Word 2000 worked for me. I seem to be working FOR word 2007. After much delving on the net, I found the absolute simple answer: First tidy up the button images to suit 2007 by using 2000/2003 and paste the old normal.dot file in the word startup folder. The buttons always appear in addins every time. Subsequently they can put in the QAT. Sorted! |
