Create toolbar buttons for any Word command
Create toolbar buttons for any Word command
|
Word's toolbars are fine for most of us, but what if you frequently use a command that isn't on any toolbar? If you type long documents with footnotes, say, you might want the ViewFootnotes command on the Standard toolbar so you can edit them easily. Or maybe you'd like a button that lets you quickly change text colour. These commands are easy to add to any toolbar. Just follow the steps outlined here.
1. To show the toolbar that will hold the new button, right-click any toolbar and then select it from the pop-up menu. 2. In Word 6 and 7, select ToolsûCustomize and click the Toolbars tab; in Word 97, select ToolsûCustomize and click Commands. Then choose All Commands from the Categories list in the Customize dialogue box. 3. Scroll down the Commands list until you find the command you want to add to a toolbar. In Word 6 and 7, click the command to view a description of its action in the Description box. In Word 97, click the command, then click Description. 4. Drag and drop the selected command on the toolbar. In Word 97, any command displaying an icon in the Commands list will show that icon on the toolbar. All other commands will appear as text buttons. In Word 6 and 7, the Custom Button dialogue box will prompt you to select an icon. û George Campbell | Category:word processing Issue: June 1998 |
