Normal.NewMacros.Macro69 on a toolbar is too long Vhp Form is eas

To whom it may concern:
People who use Office products
Add history of searches so we won't spend so much time trying to guess what
it was we searched for and where that answer I need again is, Overall you
could save users hours every week. I had the answer but can't remember
exactly where I got it. See what I mean. Some of us get older as the years go
by and the memory fades too. Also I create many custom toolbars and use text
labels because the icons are to confusing , so every toolbar can only show 4
macros because of the "Normal.NewMacros.Macro69"(24 letters) this does not
tell me anything but if I could give it a custom name like "Chp Form"(8
letters) I would know what that macro actually did and have more macros on
the toolbar without having to open a new page paste some text and then see
what it does when I click "Normal.NewMacros.Nacro69" and if its not the macro
I need then I have to go thru 100 macros to find the one I want. That’s
productive time I’m wasting. So I take the work home and do it there so it
looks like I am able to keep up with someone half my age so I can feed my
family. So much for quality time with the family “sorry kids I can’t I have
home work to do†What about the people that have to show progress to the boss
to be an employable employee that’s productive. if this can be done now
please email me at (e-mail address removed) 707 433-6852 call me I have lots of
time saving ideas

This is gibberish. If your thinking is as confused as your writing, no
wonder you have troubles.

You need to use paragraphs.

You can name macros whatever you want to name them. You need not store them
in Normal.dot. You need not store them in newmacros.

Spend some time learning what is there in Word now.

Besides renaming the macros, you can indeed change the text that
appears on the toolbar.

First open the Tools > Customize dialog. Then right-click the button
assigned to your macro. In the long menu that appears, one item near
the top is "Name", with the current name next to it. Click in that
current name and change it to what you want. Press Enter to close the
menu, and then close the Customize dialog. When you exit from Word, if
you're asked whether to save changes to Normal.dot, say yes.

There is an illustration of the menu in step 2(b) of
