Where do I find my missing "Link to previous" header button?
Working in Word, I dragged the header/footer floating toolbar too far off the
document/screen and couldn't get it back. Tried to recreate it, but can't locate the "link to previous" button. |

Why can't you get it back? If you dragged it, it must be reachable with the
cursor. With care - and maybe some trial and error - you can get it back using the keyboard ... When editing the header (with the toolbar 'displayed') ... Press Alt, and "File" on the main menu will be selected/highlighted. Press Ctrl+Tab repeatedly and the selection will move round the first item on each visible toolbar. Watch where it goes and you should be able to determine when it has reached the Header/Footer toolbar (presuming all the rest are actually visible). When on the Header/Footer toolbar, press Shift+Tab - this will select the dropdown arrow at the top right of the Header/Footer toolbar. Next press the down arrow to open the popup and then type "M" to select "Move" within it, and press Enter. The arrow keys can then be used to move the toolbar wherever you want. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "I'm late" I'm wrote in message ...

Or you can use a little macro such as the following:
Sub TestMacro() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View _ .SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader With CommandBars("Header and Footer") .Left = 0 .Top = 0 End With End Sub The macro places the toolbar to the top left of the Word window. Drag it into the desired location. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tony Jollans" My forename at my surname dot com wrote in message ... Why can't you get it back?

Hmm, I guess it would be best to also include a line that sets the
CustomizationContext, so that changes are saved in the Normal template: Sub TestMacro() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View _ .SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate With CommandBars("Header and Footer") .Left = 0 .Top = 0 End With End Sub For more on macros, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
