I am trying to create a custom button to include in an MSWord 2003
toolbar. I have a dll that includes the button, but how do I assign
that to a button?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomButtonImages.htm for
several methods.

I don't think you can directly assign a button face that's stored in a dll.
If you have the graphic that was used to make the dll, that will be easiest.
Otherwise, you'll have to open the dll in a graphics program and save the
image to bitmap file. Try using IrfanView (www.irfanview.com).

I found the answer. I needed to register the dll file using regedit32.
