how can I assign an icon on my toolbar to access my macro
I have made a macro (to create a table). It is used quite often, so I would
like to assign the macro an icon for my toolbar, instead of having it taking up half my toolbar with the text "Normal.NewMacros.Table1". Can someone help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it. :-) |

Hi Yvonne-
Assuming you have the macro on the toolbar already, go back into ToolsCustomize (if not, drag it to a toolbar first). Right-click the macro button on your toolbar & choose 'Change Button Image', pick an icon, then rt-click it again & choose Text Only (in Menus).

Actually, the choice you want to make is not "Text Only" but "Default,"
which displays an icon on a toolbar and an icon and text on a menu. -- Suzanne S.

Actually, it's a matter of personal preference, I guess :0)
IMHO, inclusion of Icons in menus is a redundant eyesore. Especially in the case of Custom Icons which typically bear no resemblance to the comands they represent and can sometimes be confusing &/or misleading. Regards |:) "Suzanne S.

But the OP wanted a toolbar button with an icon instead of text, so "Default
Style" is the necessary answer here. -- Suzanne S.

I wanted to respond to your mention of "so 'Normal.NewMacros.Table1' won't
take up half the toolbar." You do know you should always delete everything, except the macro name (Normal.NewMacros), so it will simply display as Table1. It remembers the rest. -- madamx "Yvonne Scott" wrote: I have made a macro (to create a table).

Actually you can change the text to anything you like - it remembers the
name of the macro separately - so changing it to, perhaps, T would work (and be as small as an icon) -- Enjoy, Tony "How to link or embed objects in Word" ft.com wrote in message ...
