Toolbar customization query, Word 2007
I want to put the command "Hide spelling errors" on the Quick Access
Toolbar in Word 2007. I can do so, but it leaves the entire text of the command ("Hide spelling errors") in the toolbar, so taking up kilometers of space. Is there any way of just displaying an icon? Why on earth have MS done away with the customizability of previous versions? Roll on Mozilla Wordfox Thanks! |

You could create a macro that runs the corresponding command/toggle, then
put that macro onto the QAT. Someone better at VBA than I am would need to tell you how/if you could replicate the checkbox behavior you get with the default Hide spelling errors tool. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "phosphaenus" wrote in message ups.com...

Many thanks Herb, that worked, and I see that Word 2007 at least
offers a large number of icons for macros (though not the option of making your own). If anyone's interested, I found the appropriate macro at the following website... http://www.joyedaniels.com/vba_word.htm .... with some minor modifications (I'm not interested in "grammar errors") the macro is as follows... Sub Macro_HideShowSpellErrors() Application.ScreenUpdating = False If ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = True Then ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = False Else If ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = True Then ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = False Else ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = True End If End If Application.ScreenRefresh End Sub |

If you still have access to Word 200(0-3), you can create a template in that
application, with a custom toolbar containing all your macro buttons with their icons. If you use that template as an add-in to Word 2007 the toolbar buttons and their icons are available on the add-ins tab. With the aid of a minor registry hack you can even run both Word versions at the same time. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org phosphaenus wrote: Many thanks Herb, that worked, and I see that Word 2007 at least offers a large number of icons for macros (though not the option of making your own).

I'd hate to try to support Word 2003 without having it available. Thanks to
the "minor registry hack," it's a lot easier to run multiple versions of Word than it used to be. For more on the hack, see: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com/2...03-coexisting/ -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Customization isn't gone, it was just moved from the UI to XML. If you
feel up for playing with it, you can start at http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribbonx. If you don't want to play with XML, take a look at my RibbonCustomizer add-in.
