Customize Standard Toolbar

[MSquared]

Hi,
How do I customize the "New Blank Document" button on the Standard Toolbar to look at a different document? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can write a macro that creates a document from a specific template. If you store the macro in a module in your Normal.dot, it'll be available whenever you use Word. The macro would look some thing like this:

Sub NewDocFromTemplate()
Documents.Add "Test.dot"
End Sub

Substitute the appropriate template name. If the template is not in your User Templates or Workgroup Templates folder, you need to specify the path too.

Switch back to Word >> Select Tools | Customize... >> Activate the Commands tab >> Select Macros in the list of Categories >> Select your macro (it'll probably be listed as something like Normal.Module1.NewDocFromTemplate)>> Drag it to the Standard toolbar >> Close the Customize dialog.

Cheers!
