Hello, My company recently moved to Office 2007. We have several Word templates with macros and custom toolbars developed in Word 2003. The toolbars show up in the Add-Ins tab in Word 2007, and that is fine. But how do I update these toolbars in Word 2007 as I create new macros? These templates are used by about 30 people. The macros are mainly formatting-related, lots of "find and replace" for different elements. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks Amy

These buttons can be added and deleted quickly through the More Commands item on the menu from the down arrow at the end of the QAT. The drawback is that QAT buttons don't live in the same template as the macros, so it's harder to distribute a uniform set of buttons to many users. An alternative is a ribbon editor such as Patrick Schmid's RibbonCustomizer (http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncustomizer/index.php). Finally, if you still have at least one copy of Word 2003 available, you can use it to create more toolbars for the Add-Ins tab.
