templates dialogue box
Is there a way of creating a toolbar shortcut straight to the templates
dialogue box? (Word 2003) I have a toolbar icon to take me to the New Document options in the sidebar but would like to bypass that step and create a one click shortcut to display the dialog for the templates "on my computer" which are the only ones I ever choose from. I used to be able to do this on Word 97 but can't work it out on 2003.

Su it is already built in to Word but hidden because the marketing
department thinks no one uses it and it doesn't look sexy enough to be on a toolbar by default! Right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. Under Categories select AllCommands, under Commands scroll down until you find FileNewDialog. Drag and drop this onto a Toolbar: it will appear as 'OTHER' without a button face. Either create your own button face or copy across one of the default faces or simply rename it as NEW if that's your preference. Assign it a shortcut if you want (Alt+N is usually available). Remember to save this either to a template or to Normal.Dot when you close Word. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Robert M Jones" wrote in message ...

I edit the button image so that it looks like it has text to distinguish it
from the New Blank Document button. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Me too. I use the standard Open button face and add a 'T' for templates.

I use the same icon because I delete the button for FileNewDefault (since I
virtually never create a document based on Normal.dot). -- Suzanne S.
