Is there a way to create a command button on toolbar
like the Show/Hide Edit Mark button? I want to use it
to toggle between two status.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, there is. Very possibly the command is already predefined in Word, in
which case you can dig it out of the Tools | Customize dialog:
How to assign a Word command or macro to a toolbar or menu
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm

Or you might have to write a macro that toggles, and attach that to an icon.

What did you want to do, specifically?

The poster wants a button to toggle states to show which condition is
active.

My fault, then. I don't understand what "states" means.

The button looks different if (for example) non-printing characters are
displayed. The bold and italics buttons are other examples of toggled
buttons.

Oops. I thought the OP wanted to use the button to do something. I think I
do remember seeing a suggestion that some tricky VBA might be able to
accomplish this, though I can't imagine it being worth the time.

How about setting the buttons state?

myCommandBarButton.State=msoButtonDown
myCommandBarButton.State=msoButtonUp

I want to create a button to change the page tray.Use the default
page tray when the button is up and use the manual tray when down.
The question is how to reference the command button in VBA code.
