Customizing with foreign button
How do I add non-Microsoft buttons to the Word toolbar, such as Quickbooks.
Note: this can be done in WordPerfect? |

Customizing with foreign button
What can and cannot be done in Word Perfect is irrelevant here.
Applications that are designed to work in partnership with Word will have an add-in that provides the necessary interface. Those that don't have any relationship with Word don't really need to be on the Word toolbar, but if you must then you need to create a macro to call the application and add the macro to the toolbar e.g. Sub Calculator() Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CALC.EXE", 1) End Sub will call the Windows calculator. I don't know the path and exe file for Quickbooks but if you replace the path to the calculator with the path to Quickbooks exe file it will call Quickbooks instead. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org debellis14 wrote: How do I add non-Microsoft buttons to the Word toolbar, such as Quickbooks.
