Horizontal text commandbar docked left

[bradles]

Here's the need:
- Commandbar docked left
- Horizontal text in each control with image on the left

The only options I can find to get the text horizontal is to set each control Style = msoButtonIconAndCaptionBelow or Style = msoButtonIconAndWrapCaptionBelow that forces the text to be centered with the image above.

Otherwise the commandbar is perfect when it's Position = msoBarFloating and each control Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption


I even tried docking the commandbar to the top but then i can't seem to control the width of it to force each button underneath each other.

Any ideas?

I'm afraid you have already found the closest possible solution to your request. Word seems to tolerate, rather than encourage, toolbars at the side - and disallows them completely in 2007.

Enjoy,

Thanks Tony, it's actually for an Access application although there shouldn't be a difference.

As an aside what's your impression of developers feeling regarding the GUI changes in Office 2007?

The general feeling, AFAICT, is a grudging acceptance, although many have said they won't be upgrading. Personally, I think MS have got it wrong.

Enjoy,
Tony
