Creating Macro buttons on a toolbar in Word 2007

[SteveInstructor]

I have a problem with creating a macro toolbar that displays customize
buttons. I need to have the macros assigned with buttons that display text
(the name of the macro). I have a instructor that created over 50 macros in
Word 2003 for grading English papers (citation, grammar, etc...) that is
having difficulty with assigning macros to the ribbon and having them
assigned to a button with text.

I'd appreciate any help!

I will try to walk you through it.
1. Go to "tools" down to "macro" then over to"record new macro"
2. Type in the name for your macro
3. click either toolbar or desktop (depending on where you want your macro).
4. click and drag "normal new macro" to where you want it - in your toolbar
or on your desktop.
5. Once you have the words "normal new macro" where you want it, right click
on it and go down to "name". Click on it and change the name to what you want
it titled. now go down to "change button image" and choose an image for your
macro.
6. Close the macro window that comes up on your screen.
7. go to file and go down to the command your symbol stands for (for
example, if the symbol stands for something you want to print, click "print".
8. You will see a recorder on your screen - click on it to stop recording.

Your new macro should now work.

There are no toolbars (or tools menu) in Word 2007 - only the QAT (Quick
Access Toolbar) which cannot be accessed in this manner..
