Cannot add icon to toolbar; could not drag the command
I had put the envelopes icon on the toolbar on my computer, but the computer
had to be reformatted, and now I cannot add the envelopes icon to the toolbar. I followed the instructions, but the command cannot be dragged to the toolbar. When I try, a box with an X appears. |

Cannot add icon to toolbar; could not drag the command
Hi
What version of Word do you have? Can you add any other buttons to your toolbar, or is it just the Envelope button that is the problem? Can you tell us exactly what steps you are following?

Cannot add icon to toolbar; could not drag the command
It's Word 2003. I cannot add any icons to the toolbar following the
directions: Tools/customize/commands/chose category Tools/chose command Envelopes and Labels. When I drage the icon, there is a box with an X.

This is a little confusing, but the X shows where you cannot drop the
button. Once you hover the button over a toolbar, the button will change to a +. -- Suzanne S.

I don't think so. This is my home computer. An attempt to update my Nortons
screwed up my hard drive so much, it had to be reformatted. I use the Letters & Labels feature a lot, so would like to have the icon on the toolbar again.

I can't imagine what the problem could be; I know I had no problem adding
it. You're definitely dragging from the commands list in Tools | Customize? -- Suzanne S.

Yes. When I try to drage from the command list, the X stays and nothing
happens when I let go on the toolbar. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I can't imagine what the problem could be; I know I had no problem adding it.

Is this happening in a corporate/networked environment or on a personal/home
computer? If the former, it's possible that the net Nazis are preventing you from customizing Word (always a bad idea). -- Suzanne S.

It certainly sounds like the toolbars are protected but |I don't know what
would cause it on your home machine. You could try resetting the toolbars -- Tools Customize Toolbars tab, Select Standard and press Reset, and then select Formatting and press Reset. If that doesn't help, I wonder if you have some corruption. You could try Detect and Repair. Try deleting (or renaming) Normal.dot - but if this is a brand new installation on a reformatted hard disk it all seems rather unlikely. -- Enjoy, Tony "Barbilu" wrote in message ... Yes.
