Button asign to makro in Word2000 1

[KoenPiller]

Hi,

Would like to asign a button, with selfcreated .ico to a button to a makro and place this button in my taskbar. Anybody around who could give me some advice?

Thanks in advance,

Koen

1.Go to Tools-Customize
2.select the commands tab.
3.select Macros from the Categories list.
4.then drag the macro you want to the toolbar from the commands box.(The macro must be available when you do this.)

5. you can then right click on the button on the toolbar while still in cutomize mode to change the icon.

Hi DarkSun,

Your remark is 100% correct, h/e when I do this I will get a very ugly Button with a Text something like "Normal.NewMacros.MyMakro1". Obviously I would like to get a "normal" Button with my Icon and eventualy a text with Description when you move the mouse over it, just like the standard Buttons.
Any idea what I should do?

Firstly see point 5. and you can also change it to Default Style when you right click to get rid of the text.

As for the description when you move over it I believe this can only be done in Code by setting the caption property.
