MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / August 2006Missing Menu element?
Hi all - Using Word 2002 ---- I am trying to set up an icon on the Standard Toolbar to be able to open the Template Dialog Box. By that I mean the Dialog box that appears when you click on New ... Other ....., but only when it is set as an Icon on one of the Toolbars. I don't want the Task Pane appearing which is what happens when you choose File/New/Other. I went to set up a macro but could only find New Blank Doc / New Web Page and New E-mail. I tried to create the macro by clicking on the New.... Icon and then on Other... but found I could not then stop the Macro Recorder unless I cancelled the Dialog Box - defeating the whole purpose. I vaguely remenber in the dim dark dephs of the past that there was some way of stopping a macro in this situation. Can't find anything though. Any ideas. Why is the one and only item I want NOT THERE. Thanks for any input.. Yours ---- Dika The command you are looking for is FileNewDialog. By default it will be labeled Other... and has no icon; you'll have to assign one. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CustomizingWord2002.htm  SignatureSuzanne S.

I would not say many many thanks but instead a million and one thanks! First your reply was clear, concise and timley. Then having kicked myself about forgetting All Commands and getting the Icon set I read your attached documents. Quite brilliant. Again, clear and concise. I shall show my Word users the link to your site and encourage them to read and learn. And I can now play with yet more icons.

A couple of differences in file names/types and registry entry naming. ======= I'm glad I was able to help. At least there IS a way to put Word 2002/2003 "back the way it was." When we all get to Word 2007, I don't know what we'll do! SignatureSuzanne S.

My reference to "putting it back the way it was" was to my article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CustomizingWord2002.htm, which had helped the OP. This article explains how to customize Word 2002 to work/look like Word 2000. There will not be any way to make Word 2007 work like Word 2003, as MS has been very clear that there is no "classic view." SignatureSuzanne S.

Hi Suzanne - well, I'll leave that all to you youngsters cause after a little over 25 years of micros, Microsoft and mice I am retiring in 2 months! It used to be so easy not only to understand but also to explain to users, now it just gets more and more complicated. But I will miss it. Thanks again --- Dika > You misunderstood me.

FWIW, the Word 2007 UI should make it much easier for new users to learn how to use Word, as the goal of the new UI was to make features more discoverable. It will be a pain only to experienced Word users (especially "power users" who are accustomed to customizing their UI). SignatureSuzanne S.

Because it's preventing me from saving any customizations in Word. Arggggggggggggh! <*(((>< >The command you are looking for is FileNewDialog.

For more, see >http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CustomizingWord2002.htm It is not preventing you from saving customizations; it's preventing Normal.dot from being saved when you quit Word. But you can explicitly save Normal.dot by pressing Shift when you select the File menu and choosing Save All on that menu. SignatureSuzanne S.
