I used to have buttons on my toolbar in Word 97 representing my macros and
was able to just have it be a plain button with a couple of text characters
on it to help me identify which macro it was.  I've just had Word 2007
installed and have finally figured out how to do a macro.  But it seems that
when I put a macro button on my Quick Access Toolbar, I am forced to have one
of the little icons under the modify section.  Is there anyway to just have a
plain button with a couple of letters of text of my choosing again like in
Word 97?  Thanks so much.

Hi Laura,

If you're adding Word 2007 macros to the Quick Access Toolbar through the Options Customization dialog the 216 choices are pretty
much it, although you can type in a short display name of only 2 characters, that will be what appears on mouseover of the QAT icon.

If you have your macros in a separate Word 97-2003 template on a custom toolbar created in the prior version (not added to a Word
built in toolbar) then the button you had should appear still with the toolbars/buttons appearing in the Word 2007 'Add-Ins' tab
when attach that template or include it in the Word startup folder.
