Re: Expanding toolbars horizontally possible? - screencap.jpg (1/1)

I assume that by "none helped" you actually mean "didn't tell you what you
wanted to hear". What it *did* tell you is how Word's toolbars work, & there
isn't anything either of us can do to change that :) For more, search word
Help for 'add or remove buttons' (no quotes).

Also, please continue any given issue within the same thread.

Happy Holidays,

Hello again:
I've had a couple of responses to my query, but none helped. I'm
attaching a small screen cap to see if that helps to get the situation
across.
Thanks again,
Bruce

If you mean the "buttons" that appear in a menu when you click the right end
of a toolbar then I'm afraid you've been deceived. They aren't really
buttons and you can't expand the bar to display them. If you want them added
to the bar you need to go to Tools>Customize>Customize Menus & Toolbars and
add them from the Commands page there. If you add a command that is in the
drop-down menu it will appear on the bar as a button & removed from the menu
at the same time - IOW, it won't be in the menu any longer once you add it
as an actual button.

As far as the width of your toolbar relative to window size, there is no
correlation - the max length of any bar is determined by the controls it
contains. The bars don't scale up/down based on window size, they remain
constant regardless of the width of a window.

Hello all:

I've looked through the newsgroup and don't see this addressed, unless
I've missed it. The problem is that my displayed toolbars don't expand
to show all buttons and don't expand to the width of the window,
regardless of how many buttons are shown. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks.
