Customise buttons in Word - Macro button icons - Export from word 2003 into Word 2007
Hi,
My client makes use of Macros and adds custom buttons to the tool bars for these macros.
I learnt that actually someone in the office was just manually drawing the Macro buttons on the option to do this.
Some users have had to move to Office 2007.
I would like to be able to export the many custom icons they have created for Word 2003 buttons so that these are available in Word 2007. In fact I would like to create a standard list of Macro functions with consistant icons associated across the company rather then the random collection they have now.
can anyone point me in the right direction (basically how do I export the icon images and import them into Word 2007).
Thanks

OK on this. So basically there is no real eas way just to say "Export button picutre" or similar. I have to run the code provided above?
If I run the code above how will this let me transfer the icons to other PC's?
Thanks again!

Hi there
The code above can be changed to save the button faces as files.
However, an existing document or template should contain any custom set button images and these should show wherever the file is used.
Am missing something - like your folks want to use the custom images to create their own toolbars etc on a variety of machines?
If this is the case, then the images should be saved and made available to all who need them.

Never got to test this code in the end because of various events but I assume it worked and the input was very helpful
Toolbars should appear in Word 2007 within the Addins area on the ribbon. There should not really be the need to export anything. When a doc, addin, or template is opened that provides a custom toolbar, it should be created as you would expect using Word 2002, 2003.
