Changing the default formatting for Word's standard buttons

[cmbrown]

Can anyone help me figure out how to change the default formatting for the
bullet and numbered list buttons on Word's formatting toolbars? I have
created my own toolbar with both a bullet and numbered list button, but
having both confuses all the end users. I removed the standard buttons, but
the users then get confused as to why sometimes they are there (when they use
normal.dot) and sometimes they aren't (when they use my template). A mutiny
is pending... unless I can just change how things look when I use Word's
standard buttons!
Thanks in advance.

Right-click any toolbar and select Customize. Right-click the button and
select 'Edit button image'.

Or call your macros (assigning number/bullet styles?) FormatNumberDefault
and FormatBulletDefault, so they are called instead of the built-in commands
of the same name.

When I have duplicate icons with different functions, I will usually make a
dramatic change to the color of one of the buttons. For instance, I have a
button to print the current page. I copied the print icon and superimposed a
blue "1" on it. Where you are taking over the function, though, I think
Klaus' idea is a great one. You don't change the button at all, you just
grab its command for your function.
