Hi: Can anyone suggest where I might find someone who can tackle a small
Word macro project? We need to develop a UI from a custom toolbar who's
function is to insert autotext into a Word doc file.

Any help locating someone to do this would be very much appreciated.

Is there some reason you don't just put an AutoText menu on the toolbar?

Yes, that's how it is now. It is very difficult to use because there are
about 30 different buttons, all of which must be abbreviated just to fit.
The abbreviations and clutter makes very difficult to use, especially to new
users. I am hoping that there is a better way to do this. Thanks.

An AutoText menu would not have "30 different buttons" but 30 different menu
items. If the entries are needed at a specific point, you could also use an
AutoTextList field; see
