Contains buttons (icons) for common commands.
Custom Button FacesIf you are using Word 2003 or earlier, you may have discovered the usefulness of adding frequently used commands to a toolbar. If you have not done so, see the article �How to assign a Word command or macro to a toolbar.� You may, however, have also found that Word has many useful commands for which button icons are not available. Show This is not an insuperable problem: as described in �Assigning custom button images to your toolbar and menu buttons,� you can supply button faces for these orphan commands in a number of ways. (If you have already created custom button faces in Word 2003 or earlier and want to be able to retain them in Word 2007 or above, see Word MVP Graham Mayor�s article �Toolbars and Word 2007.�) In response to discussion in the Word New Users newsgroup, I have created a template that contains several buttons with custom button faces. You can download this template and use the buttons themselves or the button faces. Contents of the templateThis template contains a custom toolbar named Button Faces (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. The Button Faces toolbar On the toolbar are six buttons, all functional, as follows: Condensed Font: When applied to selected text, this button condenses the character spacing by 0.1 point. This can be extremely helpful in copy fitting. The last three buttons are toggles; they have On and Off states that will indicate whether text at the insertion point has the relevant format or not. The first three button images are my own; you can tell from this that I am no artist. The latter three were created by Word MVP Robert M. Franz, who is obviously more talented. Note that the ToolsCalculate button (or menu item) will be disabled unless you have calculable numbers selected. How to download the templateWhen you click on the link to download the template, you should get a dialog asking whether you want to open it or save it. You will probably want to save it. Although the file is a template (.dot file), it will be saved as a document (.doc file). You can change the file extension if you like; I�m not sure that it matters whether you do or not. Just save it somewhere accessible. The template contains the instructions below, so it is self-explanatory. How to use the template
