how to create toolbar icon from vba

[Krzys(R)]

I'm writting a small macro-project that would be usefull for all
members off my working group. I've already found that if I put dot-file
in /Program_Files/Microsoft_Office/office10/startup directory all users
on this computer can see it in /Tools/Macros-Menu.
What I'd like to do is to create a non-standard toolbar with
own-creation icons in it. I couldn't find anything usefull on the web.
Has somebody any idea how to create such custom icon?

regards
Kris

p.s.
btw where does Word save all info about custom edited icon (like these
via right click on toolbar and "edit button image")

Hi Krzys(R),

Just create the toolbar in the *.dot file, as well. It will be available
in the same way (via the View/Toolbars menu). Open the template. Use
Tools/Customize, select "Toolbars", click "New", make sure the *.dot file
is selected as the place to save the new toolbar in, give it a name.

When adding buttons to the toolbar, make sure changes are being made to
the *.dot file (and not "all documents" or Normal.dot, or anything else).
