toolbar button icons vs. text
I found myself using Insert Cross Reference, Change Case,* and Insert
Caption a lot, so I added them to a toolbar. But all of those commands happen to not have icons assigned to them, so I made icons for them. The trouble is that it doesn't seem possible to completely delete the text from the toolbar button, leaving only my new icon. I edited the text to "." in each one, but still, the three periods (one in each button) take up enough space that another button could be visible on the toolbar; can I remove the text entirely? (Word2003) tips: *The Change Case command is a lot more convenient than the Aaa button on the default toolbar, since clicking on it cycles through Initial, FULL, and no caps without having to open the window and choose the option each time. Similarly, I changed the Print command on the toolbar from the default one that just sends to the printer whatever's open, to the other one (with the very same icon, curiously) that doesn't bypass everything but rather opens the Print dialog box like Ctrl-P. |

toolbar button icons vs. text
In Tools | Customize, right-click on the button and choose "Default style,"
which is icon only for toolbars, icon and text for menus. FWIW, I wish I'd thought to add a button (or a keyboard shortcut) for Insert | Reference | Cross-reference while I was working on the 600-page tome I'm currently finishing up! -- Suzanne S.

toolbar button icons vs. text
Aargh! As a 15-year Mac user, it rarely occurs to me to right-click.
They don't seem to provide a list of all the commands you can put onto toolbars -- you just have to scroll through all the lists looking for something whose name might correspond to what you want to do.

Does MacWord not include an All Commands category in Tools | Customize?
Also, if you want to choose among existing button faces for new buttons (instead of designing your own), see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...uttonFaces.htm. The table you can download from this page is quite old, so it doesn't include all the buttons that have been added to more recent versions, but it does offer a wide variety from all the Office apps. -- Suzanne S.

toolbar button icons vs. text
I think the last time someone sent me button faces, it was in a template.

toolbar button icons vs. text
They must be in my normal.dot, since they show up in other
documents ... if you want it, just ask! (And, because I'm in google groups, tell me your email address before the at.) (It also has some of my special keystrokes for accented letters, but I haven't put them all into this new copy because I haven't needed most of them yet.) (Oh, and I rearranged the regular toolbars for convenience and economy.) On Dec 27, 7:10*pm, "Suzanne S.
