How do I change a icon on the quick launch toolbar?
I added shortcuts to the quick launch toolbar and changed a couple of icons
for particular Word and Excel documents already, but this was a year ago or so. In the meantime we have moved to Office2003. Now I cannot find an option in the R-click/Properties or anything. I do have a number of documents in this toolbar, it makes opening them up nice and speedy, but I do need to be able to distinguish which icon refers to which document, of course. Can anybody help? Many thanks. |

Many thanks. Look again. When I click almost any icon in the quick launch toolbar and select Properties, there's a button in the lower right of the dialog (just above the Apply button) that says Change Icon. There are a few special ones (such as Show Desktop) that don't have it, but all the ones for documents do. If you still don't see it, you can recreate the icon. In Windows Explorer, find the document, right-click it, and select Send To Desktop (As Shortcut). Modify the icon of the shortcut that creates. Then delete the original icon from the QLT and drag the new one into its place. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How do I change a icon on the quick launch toolbar?
Hi Jay,
I can change the icons for the programs, but not for actual documents. But creating a shortcut and changing the icon from there works brilliantly! Thanks for your help!
