Identifying macros

Hi,

I have recently updated to Office 2007. I work with lots of macros and liked
making seperate toolbars for them so I could keep track of them, group them,
turn some of them off to make space, etc. This no longer seems possible, am I
right?

2nd, in 2003 you could identify your macros just by their name and not need
a button image. I can't work out how to do this in 2007. Can you just have
the name come up (e.g. b head, c head)? Or an editable image (a letter B, C,
etc.)? As it stands I have lots of the same macro image that I have to hover
over to work out what they do. Either that or open the macro list which
defeats the object. The list of images available under modify doesn't really
help. I can imagine when I finish importing all of them there is going to be
quite a mess (4 or 5 toolbars worth).

Thanks,
Nick.
 
Hi,

Thanks this was quite a handy hint, however I don't have Word 2003 anymore,
I had a full update to 2007. I set up some of my 2003 templates in the
correct way so this does work for some of my old macros. But I guess I can't
add any more macros or delete any broken buttons this way? Is there a
solution for just using 2007 or would that require buying one of those
patches?

This is the only major disadvantage of 2007. I hope MS will release a free
patch to fix it. Any other thoughts?

Nick.
 
If you want to avoid third party software and have no access to Word 2003,
then adding much used macros to the QAT is an option, or you could add the
View Macros (ALT+F8) command to the QAT and pick them from the list.
