Manipulating button images in a custom toolbar
Greetings:
I couldn't find an appropriate subcatagory for this question, so I put here. I have a custom toolbar with about a dozen buttons on it. Each button has an associated custom image. If I activate the "Customize" dialog box, right click on one of these buttons and select "Change Button Image", I get a little box of forty images, but none of my custom images is present. This surprises me. I can edit a button image in place, and I can copy and paste it to another button, but I can't disassociate it from the buttons and access it as an icon pictore. Is is possible to to this and, if so, how? If it isn't possible, why not? Surely those little pictures exist somewhere.

Manipulating button images in a custom toolbar
Right-click on any button and choose Copy Button Image. You can then paste
the image onto another button or anywhere else. -- Suzanne S.

Manipulating button images in a custom toolbar
Okay. That worked fine. I can paste them to a picture editor and manipulate
them. that's great. Now, is there a way to group them together so that they show up when "Change Button Image" is selected, either instead of or in addition to the existing batch of images? Thanks again. -- Barry Carroll (Cleverly disguised as a trained SW engineer.) --------- Datalogic Scanning, Inc. assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any statements made by me.

Manipulating button images in a custom toolbar
Note that the selection (a) is for all of Office and (b) has a lot of empty
slots (presumably for expansion) and (c) is for a very old version (Word 2000?), so it doesn't include a lot of the buttons added more recently (and may have old-fashioned icons even for existing ones). -- Suzanne S.
