Adding macros to new menu
I;ve already posted this to other forums but with no results - can
anyone here help? I've created a new menu on my template called macros. In there I have listed various macros which I want our users to be able to use. After adding the macro, I go into 'reorganise' to rename the macros into proper english, ie so the users are simply clicking on the option to follow an instruction but they're actually running a macro. My problem is when I am in the 'reorganise commands' dialogoe and am adding macros to my new menu, it is very difficult to actually see the macros listed. Becaue of the long names, ie templateproject etc only the first couple of characters of what the macro actually is is visible. This is making this task long and tedious. Am I missing something here - is there a better way to do this? Any tips very much appreciated. |

In the editor, click on and select "TemplateProject" in the pane on the top left. The properties of the project will now be in the Properties pane on the bottom left. There sill be only one property listed - "(Name)", and it is set to TemplateProject. Change it to some very short name - just 2 or 3 characters. Now, when you look at macro names in the Tools Customize dialog, you will be able to see much more because the project name isn't taking up most of the space. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Keep your VBA code safe, sign the ClassicVB petition www.classicvb.org |

Adding macros to new menu
Presumably you are adding the macros to the new menu through the Tools menu
"Customize" option. If when adding, you right-click on the name, you ill see the name and you can delete the words from there. To alter once they are on the menu bar, select Customize, go to the menu bar required, select the item you want, right-click and do the same as advised above. Then close out after you have made all your alterations. |
