How do I get Autocorrect Options as a toolbar item
Hello, All!
I have a bunch of Autotext entries in a custom template. Before I work on a particular document I have to go to Tools|Autocorrect Options|Autotext at which point I change the lookin field to point only to my custom template. I would like to add a toolbar item that preferrably took me to the autotext dialog box but if not at least to the autocorrect multi-tab option dialog. I found a command Autocorrect Options but it opens a one tab Autocorrect dialog. Autotext was another command under All commands but it didn't seem to work at all. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

I have discovered one way to do this. With Tools | Customize open, select
Insert | AutoText | AutoText... Pressing Ctrl (so that you will copy rather than move the command), drag the command to a menu. Although the button icon is the same as the one for AutoText under All Commands, this one (unlike that one) does work. -- Suzanne S.

Not sure I follow your instructions, but with the direction they gave me I was able to put the button on my toolbar and it is working great. Thanks. Colonel Blip. E-mail: |
