add a toolbar icon in Word that opens up a particular PDF document

[Guest]

Hi,

I am wanting to add a toolbar icon in Word 97 that opens a particular pdf
document in Adobe Reader?
Any help would be great.

Thanks

I can't see the point of this personally, but add the following macro to a
toolbar button

Sub OpenMyPDF()
Dim RetVal
Dim fName As String
Dim appName As String
appName = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
fName = "D:\Path\Filename.pdf"
RetVal = Shell(appName & Chr$(32) & fName, 1)
End Sub

Change the line fName = to that of the path and filename of the PDF file
and
Change appName= to reflect the path and filename of your Abode Reader.
