Assigning macro to toolbar
I have added Graham Mayor's useful SaveToTwoLocations macro to my global
template but I cannot get it to display as an icon only on the toolbar. Here's what happens (Word 2003) 1) I open the global template, add the macro, and use the Customize dialog box to add the macro to the standard toolbar. It initially displays as a button with the macro name on it. 2) I use the Modify Selection button in the Custom dialog box to change the display from Text Only (Always) to Default Style. The toolbar icon changes to a default icon (which is fine). I save the template and close Word. 3) I restart Word and the toolbar displays both the icon button and and the text button with SaveToTwoLocations on it. Both buttons are connected to the macro. 4) I open the global template again, display the customize dialog box, click the unwanted text button, and delete it. It disappears from the toolbar while the icon button remains. 5) I close the Customize dialog box and the icon button disappears too! How can I get the toolbar to display only an icon button for this macro? Thanks -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |

Assigning macro to toolbar
I can't think of a reason why this should not stick - assuming that you have
actually saved the global template after changing the toolbar. You would probably need to add a character and delete it before Word sees a change to be saved. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter A wrote: I have added Graham Mayor's useful SaveToTwoLocations macro to my global template but I cannot get it to display as an icon only on the toolbar.
