How to show macro names in Word 2007

[Anthony Giorgianni]

I just got Word 2007 and added my mcros to that quick toolbar thing,
whatever it's called. But I only see the symbol, not the macro name unless I
hover.. Is there a way to see the label without having to hover my cursor
over it? Otherwise I have lots of symbols that don't mean anything. Also, is
there a way to customize a symbol, like in former Word versions?

Thanks

The short answer to your question is no. What you see is what you get.
You could modify the ribbon (with the aid of a third party application such
as http://ribboncustomizer.com/ ) or you could press ALT+F8 to display the
macro list. That dialog can be added to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar). If
you still have access to Word 2003, see

Thank you Graham

I tried downloading the ribbon customizer utility but couldn't figure out
how to use it, let alone trying to determine if I can modify the way the
macros appear on the toolbars.

I am SO sorry I upgraded to 2007 and have installed Office 2000 on this
Vista machine. What were they thinking? I'm hoping I can do something with
this Office 2007 to get something for $279. I guess I can't bring it back
now that I've installed. I guess I could use the CDs as really expensive
coasters, Frisbees?

Thanks for your help.
