Assigning images to macros added to quick access bar

[Buck Fiscus]

I use macros a lot, and when I added them to the toolbars in Word 2000 I was
able to replace the generic macro symbol with another symbol from a list
(e.g., a smiley face for the macro to replace hard paragraphs with spaces in
a long document), but I haven't been able to find how to do that in Word
2007.

Would appreciate any help to make this transfer to 2007. I'm not sure yet
if it was an upgrade or not.

If you don't have Word 2003 or earlier any more, it's going to be difficult to
impossible, as Word 2007 has no built-in mechanism for assigning icons other
than the ones in the popup from the Modify button in the Customize dialog.

If you have an earlier version, or can get temporary access to one, then see
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm for a workaround.
