MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / February 2008Put Macros into Word 2007's Quick Access Toolbar?
In Word 2003, I had a custom pull-down menu that included about a dozen macros for doing chores specific to our office; but now I have Word 2007 <grumble>, and it looks like they have taken away pull-down menus completely. So my next thought was that I'd be able to add the macros into the "Quick Access Toolbar" (QAT), but when I try to customize the QAT, I don't find any of my macros listed (I know they're available since I can run them if I click on the Macros icon). Can anyone help me with this? Jack So... in "Customize the Quick Access Toolbar and keybaord shortcuts", if you set Choose commands from: to Macros, no macros are listed? Are your macros stored in Normal.dotm or do you have to open the file where they're contained to run them? If they're not stored in Normal.dotm, then use the Organizer to copy them to Normal.dotm (click the Macros button in the Developer ribbon, then click Organizer).

Now, since posting the question, I've discovered that I can go the Add-Ins Ribbon, and I can find the pull-down menu listed that I used in Word 2003. I can right-click the menu name and add it to my Quick Access Toolbar. This comes very close to what I wanted, except it's a little more awkward to use than it should be: when I click its icon on the QAT, it first drops down a little box labeled "Menu Com..." that displays one choice - the name of my pull-down menu. I then have to click on that to get my menu - one more click than should be needed. It may sound persnickety but I wish the icon could just go directly to the pull-down menu and skip the "Menu Com..." box. Also, I wonder if I could change the icon image to a custom bitmap?
