From Word 2000 to 2003
So far it has been painless, BUT when you want to start a new document
2000 just popped a window up with the templates in it and you chose and life was grand. 2003 on the other hand, makes you go to the right hand side, select templates, blah blah blah. Any way to change this to more like 2000? |

From Word 2000 to 2003
Upgrade to 2007. Probably not the answer you wanted but...
I don't know a way to do what you're asking. That doesn't mean it can't be done but 2007 does something similar (not exactly the same though) to older versions. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Connie" wrote in message oups.com...

Yes, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/C...ngWord2002.htm (written
for 2002 but works for 2003 as well). -- Suzanne S.

You can add the traditional 'New' dialog to your toolbar. Right-click on any Toolbar and select Customise. In the Customise dialog, select File in the left hand list and then in the right hand (Commands) list scroll down and look for New. Drag and drop it onto a Toolbar. Close the dialogs. When you click on the button, the templates dialog will open. (I'm doing this from memory and if I have got it wrong, Suzanne will jump in with the correct command to drag and drop!) -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Connie" wrote in message oups.com...

The correct command is FileNewDialog. I think you can find it only under All
Commands. But in any case, the whole procedure is detailed in the article I cited. -- Suzanne S.

From Word 2000 to 2003
The entire mvps.org domain is currently down. But, as I pointed out in
another reply, the command you want is FileNewDialog. It doesn't have a built-in icon (button image), so you'll need to supply. One I just copied the one from the New (FileNewDefault) button since I use the FileNewDialog to replace that button (which I would never use). If you want to retain both, you could paste the one from the New button and modify it in some way to look slightly different. -- Suzanne S.

From Word 2000 to 2003
By coincidence, I had to install Office 2003 for someone this morning and
the command is now under All Commands and is called FileNewDialog. When you drag and drop it on a toolbar, it calls itself 'Other' and has no icon. Right-click on it and change the name &Other to something sensible like &Template. Then I usually copy the standard File New button image (right-click on New and select copy button image and paste it onto the new Other command. Right-click on it again and select Edit Button Image: I then use black colour to make a T on it to distinguish the New (document) command form the New (Template) command. Finally, right-click and select Default Style to remove the text. Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... The entire mvps.org domain is currently down.

Are you sure they weren't AutoText entries? Those are listed in the
Categories in Customize and can be dragged to a toolbar. You'd have to create (or assign) your own button images, but the actual toolbar creation would be a snap. There wouldn't be much point in creating an AutoCorrect toolbar since AutoCorrect operates just by typing. -- Suzanne S.
