How to re-assign macro to Toolbar or Menu?
Not sure if this is exactly what you are after but have you tried Tools,
Customize, Commands tab, Keyboard button. Here you will find different Categories, such as Macros and Shortcut key settings. Always remember the "Save changes in:" which indicates the template that your changes will be saved to. Hope this helps DeanH "aushknotes" wrote: HI, I have some existing toolbars and menus already?

How to re-assign macro to Toolbar or Menu?
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion but Yes I did try but I still cannot relate Keyboard button to an existing toolbar. What I did according to you: 1) Customerize | Commands 2) Select Categories = Macros 3) Select template This is it. There is nothing on the dialog box suggesting what toolbar I want to assign the macro to. I can possibly assign the macro to a hot key here. Am I correct or have I missed any important steps here?

How to re-assign macro to Toolbar or Menu?
To locate a macro button within a toolbar - within the Customize function,
physically drag and drop the button onto the toolbar where you want it. To assign a Shortcut Key to a macro - within Customize Keyboard, change categories to Macros (may have to change the Template to display the MAcros you want), all the macros should be shown in the listing on the right. Assign away. Again ensure you save these changes in the correct template. Nothing worst than doing all the customizing, then come in the following day and you cannot find anything because it is all saved into another template.

How to re-assign macro to Toolbar or Menu?
You did not read my words. I said I did try Keyboard function in the Commands
tab but could not assign the macro to a toolbar. I don't want to assign a macro to a hot-key! What you said was just repeating what I did. Again, let me clearly state my question again : I would like to know how I can assign another macro to an existing item in an existing toolbar or menu? Not to assign a macro to a hot-key nor to add a new one.

How to re-assign macro to Toolbar or Menu?
The long and short of it is that you can't "assign another macro to an
existing item in an existing toolbar or menu." What you can do is create a *new* toolbar button for your macro, then copy the button face of the existing button, paste it on your new button, and delete the existing button. To do this, right-click on the old button, choose Copy Button Image, then right-click on the new button and choose Paste Button Image. -- Suzanne S.
