Re: quick access toolbar

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Or... if you record a macro in which you create a new document based on that template, you can then put that macro onto the QAT so that clicking the tool would create a new document based on the template, saving you the steps.

Depending on the name/location of the template, the resulting macro might look something like this :

Sub NewLetter()
'
' NewLetter Macro
'
'
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Users\Herb\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\HerbLetter.dotx" _
, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
End Sub

Note: I did not need to modify the recorded macro for it to work perfectly. You should expect similar ease.

Then use Customize QAT - Macros, etc. to put the macro onto the QAT.

To add a command button to the Quick Access Toolbar that will take you to a
dialog box from which you can select the template, do the following:

Click the Microsoft Office Button
Click Word Options to display the Word Options dialog box
Click Customize
In the Choose commands from drop-down list box, select Commands Not in the
Ribbon
In the list of commands, scroll down to New Document or Template...
Select it
Click Add
Click OK

When you click the New Document or Template command button, it will open the
New dialog box from which you can easily locate the template in the
appropriate tab and select it.

I've created templates called 'My Templates' in Word 2007. How do I put a
shortcut to them on the quick access toolbar. I can't seem to find them.
