Get rid of the long macro name?

[kevs]

When I put a macro in the toolbar, do I have to have the long silly name
before my macros:

Normal.Newmacros.SORT



Why on earth does word does this??

There's nothing "silly" about it. The entire string includes information
that tells Word where to look & what to look for when you click the command
button. Word uses that name because that's what the command (macro name)
*is* so that's all it knows to use. Would you rather it make up some
arbitrary name for you?

Regardless, it doesn't have to stay that way... While the Customize window
is displayed, Control(right)-Click the toolbar button & select Properties.
There you can label the button whatever you wish and choose an icon for it
if you'd like.
