If the latter: Tools > Customize... >Commands tab. There, in the list on the left ("Categories"), select "Macros". Then, make sure that you selected your template/document in the "Save in" drop down at the bottom of the dialog. Finally, locate your macro in the list on the right ("Commands"). Once you have located your macro select it and drag it to the toolbar where you want it. This will create a button with a caption resembling: "MyProjectName.MyModuleName.MyMacroName". Normally we want to change that. Right click the button to access all the properties you can manipulate. You can even copy paste from small icon on the page of the document or another button face if you want a picture on the button face.

Ouch! Looks as though I was typing on a microscopic keyboard or I was on something! Sadly, it was neither! I am just a terrible typist! To my defence, I do not use a spell checker because I type as often in English as I do in French... It is a pain to always have to change the dictionary before typing a message or before starting a session. So I normally read through my texts more than once to correct the typos and various other mistakes.. I guess I forgot in that case!
