To make custom toolbar, need to expand CUSTOMIZE/COMMAND menu wind

[Guest]

When making custom toolbar, expand the CUSTOMIZE menu box.
I created several macros to be added to a custom toolbar that have similar
names, with differences only in last couple of characters of name. When they
show up in the CUSTOMIZE/COMMAND menu window, the full names of macros are
obscured. Moreover, they don't seem to appear in the CUSTOMIZE/COMMAND menu
box in the same order that they appear in the Macro list
(Tools/Macro/Macros). So trying to assign the macros to a custom tool bar is
a guessing game.

You aren't the first to wish for this, nor are you likely to be the last.
Just making the dialog resizable would be a huge improvement.

Until you get your wish, you need to make the first part of your macro names
be the part that tells you what the macro is, and use short project and
module names.
