Macros on the Quick Access Toolbar

[Robie]

Hi

I managed to add my macros on the QAT in Word 2010 but the icon shows up as a funny triangle. Is there any way of setting our own images for the macros? For example, in my Word 2003 template they look like:

while in 2010 they look like:

Thanks.

You can change them, but you have a limited choice. Unlike in Office 2003 and before, you cannot create or import your own custom icons.

Click the dropdown arrow to the right of the QAT, and select More Commands...
Alternatively, select File > Options, then click Quick Access Toolbar in the navigation bar on the left.
Select a macro in the list of QAT buttons on the right, then click Modify...
The Modify... button will only be enabled for macros, it will be greyed out for built-in commands.

You can edit the display name of the button and select an icon from the palette.

Holy cr@p :-(. What's the point of prviding such a feature which is a step back from 2003. Must find a way to do somehow.
