MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / September 2007Word 2007 Quick Access Ribon
Hi All, I love the Quick Access Ribbon. However, I would like to be able to create my own symbols so that it is easier for me to remember what they mean. Or, I would like to be able to create text so that it appears under the symbol. Also, I would like to add a MACRO button to the Menu Bar and I don't see a way to do that. In Word 2003 I have a MACRO button and I drag and drop my macros into that pull down menu and I love it -- I can't figure out how to do that in Word 2007. Help is appreciated. Lisa Switching to Word after 28 years in WordPerfect -- aargh! Currently you can't modify the buttons for the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). If you add a macro to the QAT you can select an image but you can't create your own for those either. :-( We hope to see this change in the next version. To add a macro to your QAT follow these steps: - Right-click the QAT and then click Customize QAT - In the "Choose commands from" list, select macros - Select your macro and then click Add to add it to your QAT - To modify the image or ScreenTip, select your newly added macro and then click Modify Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email cannot be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Coauthor of Word 2007 Inside Out: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/9801.aspx#AboutTheBook  SignatureWord FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Lisa > Switching to Word after 28 years in WordPerfect -- aargh! > Currently you can't modify the buttons for the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). > If you add a macro to the QAT you can select an image but you can't create [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > > Thanks Beth, I had figured that out, but I've added so many macros that I'm running out of room. I hope they can change that soon. I found a previous post with 49 replies, but most of them were banterings back and forth. There was mention of third party programs -- does anyone know if they really work? LB If you still have access to Word 2003, you can use it to create custom toolbars which can be associated with the Add-ins tab on the 2007 ribbon - see http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm . If you want to modify the ribbon itself it can be done - http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm but you may find it much easier to edit using the ribbon customizer - http://ribboncustomizer.com/ Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> >> Currently you can't modify the buttons for the Quick Access Toolbar >> (QAT).

It's pretty cool, but still doesn't do what I'd like. I want to be able to click on a drop down menu within the group I created (called Lisa's Macros) and run one of my macros. Greg Maxey shows how to do it in the link you provided, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how he did it, darn it, even though his instructions are illustrations are great. I had hoped that my installing ribboncustomizer that I could then recreate what he did, but I can't. Oh well. LB Beth There was me hoping the Servicepack was going to enable modified QAT button images! :( Terry > Currently you can't modify the buttons for the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). > If you add a macro to the QAT you can select an image but you can't create [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >> Lisa >> Switching to Word after 28 years in WordPerfect -- aargh! |
