Quick Access Toolbar/s Office/Word 2007
Word 2007 - can anyone tell me if it is possible to have the same button on
this toolbar more than once. When I try to do this, it refuses to accept the request. Also is it possible to have a vertical quick access toolbar down the left hand side of the screen as well - as I was able to have in Word 97. Most of my work is typing long documents and I learnt that it is much faster to have 2 identical toolbars - one horizontal and one vertical - and for Save and the Colour change buttons to be at both ends of this so that they are more quickly accessed wherever I happen to be in the document. |

The answers are "sort of" and "no". You could solve the two-of-the-same-button problem by recording a macro that performs the same action and adding a button for the macro at the other end of the toolbar. That way Word doesn't think they're the same button. As for toolbar positioning, you get your choice of above the ribbon or below the ribbon. That's all. Better luck next time! -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thanks Jay. Will do the macro as suggested. Re vertical toolbar - might
have guessed Microsoft would drop some really good/useful things on the way. I can see I shall just have to allow the extra time that will accumulate from time wasted by having to go to the top of the document page every time caused by not having the old facility.

Yes it is, or so it will appear. You can assign buttons to the QATs of "all
documents" (default), to the document itself, and to any add-in templates. When the add-in templates are loaded, their icons will show up in the QAT of whatever document you open. You can put the same button is each QAT. The sets of buttons for the combined QAT appear in the order default, document, and then the add-ins. I'm not sure how Word determines the order of the add- ins. To add buttons to the add-ins, edit the add-in.
