Graphic on Toolbar Drop-Down Menu

[dabell]

Hi,

I am using Word 2003 with Vista.

I have a drop-down menu on a custom toolbar that was inserted using the "New
Menu" item. There are a number of buttons sitting under this drop-down
menu.

I have no problem assigning graphic images to my toolbar buttons, but the
drop-down menu does not seem to allow graphic images on the face - only text
seems to be allowed. Yet on the Word Formatting toolbar, there are
drop-down items that do use graphic images without text (such as Line
Spacing, Highlight, Font Color, etc).

I tried using
CommandBars("ToolbarName").Controls(1).FaceID = 300
in my AutoOpen macro, but I just get a runtime error.

Perhaps it is just not possible to do in a custom toolbar, but I thought I
would check with you gurus before I give up and just accept text-only.

Thanks
Dean

You can copy and paste a button image and or edit the image via
Tools>Customize.

Thanks Doug.
That is the method I use to apply images to buttons. But this method does
not work for drop-down menus added using "New Menu". After the "New Menu"
is added via Customize, you right-click on the new drop-down and the options
to copy/paste button images are greyed out.

I was hoping there was a VBA code alternative to get around this problem.

Thanks,
Dean

Dean,

First you have to add something to the New Menu, then when you click on the
item that you have added, the Copy/Paste/Edit Button Image commands will be
enabled.
