Drop-down menu of graphics in toolbar
Is there a way to create a toolbar with a menu of graphics (ie. I need to
make a menu of button designs - various sizes) - We are writing a large number of procedural and instructional documents where we need to irepeatedly imbed a range of standard button and icon graphics. MervB :-) |

Save the graphics that you want to embed as either autotext or formatted
autocorrect entries - the latter is probably simpler. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MervB wrote: Is there a way to create a toolbar with a menu of graphics (ie.

Drop-down menu of graphics in toolbar
AutoText entries could be put on a specific menu/toolbar, however.

Drop-down menu of graphics in toolbar
Thanks for that but autotext isn't the problem - I want to put full size
button graphics into a menu (obviously I'll adjust them) - the icon size graphics are of little use. Any ideas? MervB :-) "Suzanne S.

Drop-down menu of graphics in toolbar
No, you misunderstand. You create AutoText entries from your button
graphics, then put those AutoText entries on a menu or toolbar to facilitate insertion. As an example, see Insert | AutoText | AutoText. When you click on one of those entries, what you get is something different from what you see on the menu. In the case of the built-in entries, it's text or a field, but there's no reason it couldn't equally well be a graphic. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne,
I'll try again - thought I tried that but maybe not - thanks for your interest MervB :-) "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: No, you misunderstand.

Drop-down menu of graphics in toolbar
OK Suzanne I tried it and yes I see where you are going but it is not what I
need - I know I can make autotext using graphic and that I can include those autotext on a dropdown menu but the autotext on the menu appear by its name, not its content - what I'm looking for is a way to have the Autotext content (ie. the image) appear in the menu. There is the facility to include a small icon image against the Autotext in the menu but this is of little use for what I want. Ineed something like: Button Menu [Find button] [OK button] [Generate button] [etc ...] where [ ...] represents an actual image. I may be able to make a floating pallette using VBA but was hoping to avoid that. Thanks again MervB :-) "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: No, you misunderstand.
