Custom 2003 toolbar gone in 2007

[Kimmie B]

In Word 2003, I had a dandy little toolbar attached to a handly little
template that my entire group uses.

It contained buttons for custom paragraph styles.

Now that we've switched to 2007, I no longer seem to have that toolbar. I
understand that toolbars as I have come to know and love them are a thing of
the past.

So the question is this: How do I create something that gives everybody in
my group a button for custom paragraph styles?

You should see the toolbar on the Add-Ins tab of Word 2007 when the template
in question is open.

Moreover, you can right-click on the toolbar on the Add-Ins tab and add it
to the QAT.

That's a good idea. But, of course, the buttons will only work as long as
the template is loaded into memory.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Which it will be if you've put it in the Startup folder.

Sorry, I must have overlooked "moreover" in your reply. :-(

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

No, I was thinking of another thread where we'd advocated putting a (global)
template in the Startup folder. I had forgotten that this was a document
template.

Well, the OP could use a renamed copy of the template as an add-in.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

But if the commands are specific to the document template, the OP might not
want them available to all documents.

True. Looking at the original message, I suspect that is the case.

Only the OP can tell for certain, though.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I think we're both reading too many posts at once and getting them crossed!

So it seems!
