Can we customise Reference Tools in Mac Office 2004

[Malcolm Fitzgerald]

Office 2003 offers the ability to add references, such as intranet, to
the Reference Tools palette. Can the same be done in Mac Office 2004?

Hi Malcolm,

I sacrificed my Office 2003 for Office 2007 public beta.

It appears to me that everything on the Reference "ribbon" in Word 2007
exists in Word 2004 for the Mac, although not in the same places in the
user interface.

You can customize the toolbars and floating palettes in Office 2004, but
whether or not it would be perfectly analogous to Office 2003 I don't
have a way to tell you.

Hopefully someone with 2003 will chime in on this.

The document at the address below says:

Registering and testing the Research service within Office 2003 is easy.
You open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and then the Research task pane by
selecting Tools | Research from the main menu. Next, you click the
Research options. . . hyperlink at the bottom of the pane, and then the
Add Services button.

Mac Office 2004 doesn't display a "research options" hyperlink at the
bottom of the pane. I'd like to be able to add new services.
