Identifying a Button on the Quick Access toolbar with Text

[John C. Morley]

How can I use text, rather than the images provided in the Modify Button
dialog box, to identify macros placed on the Quick Access toolbar? Using
Word 2007.

I have a number of macros that users need to be able to easily select. The
obvious solution seems to be place them on the Quick Access toolbar. However,
when I open the Modify Button dialog box to select how they appear, I see
only a number of images. I no long have the option that was available in
earlier versions of Word to identify buttons with text. Is it still possible
to use text to identify a button on this toolbar; and if so, how?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How about putting a new tab on the ribbon?

See the following page of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website:

Alternatively, if you still have access to a machine running an earlier
version of Word, you can create a custom toolbar in a template in that
version to run your macros, then, when you save that template in the Word
Startup folder for Word 2007, the buttons from that toolbar will appear on
the Addins tab of the Ribbon.
