Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar
Greetings:
I am dividing very long tables into a large number of smaller ones. I need to do this in several documents and I am using the "Split Table" command on the "Table" menu to do it. Since I have to do this scores of times in each document, it would be much more convenient if I could click once on a toolbar button then twice on a pull-down menu. But I cannot find any way to put this command on a toolbar. Specifically, one is supposed to select this sequence: "Tools" menu, "Customize" option, "Commands" tab, "Table" Catagory, "Split Table" command, then drag the "Split Table" command to the toolbar. But, no "Split Table" Command exists! Even when I create a custom icon in "Rearrange Commands", the option doesn't appear. Very frustrating. How does one go about putting this particular command on a toolbar.

Thank you, Helmut. That is exactly what I was looking for. (I thought it
might be something simple like that).

Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar
FWIW, I usually find it easier to right-click and use Split Table on the
shortcut menu. -- Suzanne S.

Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar
There are many shortcut menus; there are quite a few just for tables. But if
I just click in a cell, it is on the shortcut menu (it's not if I select a row, however). It seems to be only on the Table Cell and Table Text shortcut menus. -- Suzanne S.

Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar
Suzanne:
None of the table-related shortcut menus on my installation of Word included the "Split Table" command. However, I figured out how to add the command using the "Tools/Customize" function. So now I can split a table from the "Tables", "Whole Tables", "Table Text" and "Table Cell" shortcut menus. I also have the command bound to the keyboard shortcut "Alt-S", so that whether I'm using the mouse or the keyboard, I have a convenient way to use this command. Thanks for your suggestion, Suzanne, and to everyone else who helped. -- Barry Carroll (Cleverly disguised as a trained SW engineer.) --------- Datalogic Scanning, Inc. assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any statements made by me.

Adding "Split Table" to a toolbar
It's possible I added the command to my shortcut menus, or it may be that
this is just a difference between versions. I know I did add some table commands (notable the Vertical Alignment one) to some of those shortcut menus, as it seemed I always had the wrong thing selected to get what I wanted on the menu. -- Suzanne S.
