Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
I need to make a toolbar in Word 2003 (PC running on XP) that has links to 
Word files in My Documents. I have seen this on a computer and the customer 
wants to know how to do this. I do hope I have explained this clearly and am 
holding thumbs that someone can assist.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Here's one way... Put any command on a toolbar as a holding space (I tend to 
use the FileOpen command, but it really can be any command at all). Then, 
with the Customize dialog box still on screen, right click the added command 
on the toolbar (it could be in a menu, as well), and choose Assign 
Hyperlink - Open. Navigate to the desired file, click on it, then click OK. 
Right-click again and change the name to something that tells the user what 
file it will open.

Click Close in the Customize dialog when you're done.

Mind you... I get an annoying beep and warning when I open files this way. 
But, that might be a function of Vista, since I don't recall the beep from 
doing it in XP. But, it's been a while, so it might've beeped then, as well.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Add the Work menu to the menu bar (Tools > Customize) and add the files you 
require to the menu..

Have you tried the Built-in Menu called Work?

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Yes Mark - Graham Mayor suggested it to me and I think it is fantastic. I am 
trying to see how one would delete a single file off the Work Menu should one 
not want it there anymore. If you can assist with that I would be most 
grateful. Also is there a limit to how many files one can list on that Work 
Menu please?

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Thanks so much Graham. I am delighted with the work menu. However can you 
tell me how to delete a single file off the work menu should one not want it 
there anymore - that is without deleting the whole work menu and having to 
start again. Also is there a limit to how many files one can have listed on 
the Work Menu. 

Many thanks again.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Thanks so much Herb. That is exactly what is on my clients PC. However, I am 
just getting a warning message each time I click one of the links. 
"Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your 
computer, click only on those links from trust sources. Do you want to 
continue?" She is not getting that when she clicks on her toolbar and I am 
sure this will bother her evey time she wants to open a document from the 
toolbar. I have looked in Tools Options to see if I can disable the message - 
but not winning. If you can assist me with that also, I would be really 
happy. 

Big thank you again.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen and click on a file to remove it. Use this shortcut 
with care, as it will delete *any* menu entry you click on. (But it is "used 
up" after one use and can be dismissed with ESC if you invoke it 
inadvertently.)

Hi Margy

Not sure where it belongs, but in All Commands you will find an item 
called ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut, which I have added to the Work 
menu (just under the Add to Work Menu item).

The shortcut key is [Alt Ctl -]

I haven't pushed the menu hard enough to know is limits.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Use the 'destructive cursor' - CTRL+ALT+Hyphen - to delete unwanted entries 
(carefully as this tool will delete any menu item without warning). ESC (or 
applying it) cancels the cursor.

I cannot recall the number of items the menu holds, but more than its 
capacity suggests the use of the favourites folder.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Hi Margy,

You should probably go with the Work menu (and I'm a bit surprised that no one
else pointed you to http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm), but for
completeness here's how to get the toolbar you first described:

- Create a macro (http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm) in the Normal.dot
template (or in a template in the Startup folder) that opens the document you
want:

Sub OpenDocumentA()
  Documents.Open FileName:="Document A.doc"
End Sub

You'll need a separate macro for each document you want to make a button for;
the word after "Sub" and the file name in quotes need to be changed for each
one. If the document is in Word's User Documents folder then you just need the
file name; if it's anywhere else you must also include the full path within the
quotes.

- In the Customize dialog, choose the Macros category and drag the
document-opening macros to the toolbar. Edit the names of the buttons as Herb
described.

These macros won't bother you with hyperlink warnings. But the macro creation
process is more difficult than using the Work menu, so I wouldn't suggest it
unless your customer is absolutely insistent on having  a toolbar.

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
Hi Jay

Thanks a million for your input. Suzanne and Mark below did suggest the Work 
Menu - which was new to me as well and absolutely fantastic. So I am going to 
offer the Work Menu option rather - simple and very easy to manage. I would 
like to try the method that you have suggested as well and really do 
appreciate your advice. I have worked with normal macros, but nothing complex 
and no VBA at.

i Graham, 

I have had such great input with regards to this query. I so appreciate the

I am delighted with the Work Menu and it will be something I will use a great

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
The Work Menu was a great option for previous versions of Word. Is there a 
similar option for Word 2007? My users are very unhappy that they can no 
longer use this option after the upgrade to Office 2007. I have offered them 
the My Places option but that is not simple enough for them.  
Thanks

Re: Files / documents on a Word Toolbar   
In Office 2007, the Office menu in gives you an option to pin documents to 
the menu that you would like to stay there. This could be why the Work Menu 
does not feature in Word 2007 - I might be totally wrong. Go to the Office 
button and click Word Options and in the Advanced section under Display, one 
can increase the number of recent documents to as deep as your monitor is (or 
to a maximum of 50 documents) - then click the "pin" on the right side of the 
document listed in Recent Documents, to keep them permanently in the Recent 
Doucment list. To take them off the list - click the "pin" again and they 
will gradually move down the list and fall off. I do hope this will help. It 
works exactly the same in Excel and PowerPoint. I enjoy the feature very 
much. I have my Recent Document list set to 30, as that is what my notebook 
monitor will accomodate.
