Word Icons

[James Silverton]

There is a rather limited set of icons available when one "renames" a
macro in Word. Can anyone tell me where the list is stored since I'd I'd
like to modify some of the icons or add others?

Do you mean these icons ?

It's possible there are a total of 216 of them.

I hadn't actually counted them but that set does come up when you
"rename" a macro. Certainly, they can be used but none are exactly what
I want. You could "customize buttons" in Word 2003 using Paint but I
don't see any way to do that here. I did find some icons in the panel
that will serve to jog my memory as to needed macros but it would be
good to be able to make my own. I have shortened the names of the macros
considerably so that New macros.Print Select (or whatever), occupying a
large chunk of the ribbon is now Print Select.

An example in 2003 was that recorded macro to print a high-lighted
section of a document. This was simply the printer icon with all black
pixels changed to red and I have gotten very used to it. As a chemist, I
have a macro to change all the numbers in a chemical formula to
subscript and I'd like my button which was H2O (2 subscripted of
course.)

Using the 216 number, I was able to find this.

http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Word/microsoft.public.word.docmanagement/2008-03/msg00596.html

"For Word 2007, only macro entries can change Quick Access Toolbar icons
and then only one of 216 MS provides.

You could put a macro 'wrapper' around a specific Word command to
have the ability to change the icon."

I got the impression, from the compacted nature of the presentation of those
icons, they were generated programmatically (i.e. stored inside a DLL).
There is a message by Peter Foldes that suggests otherwise, so perhaps you
can check in the folder he suggests.

What an appalling retrogression it is! What's MS got against personal
macros. I suppose if I were up on such things I could modify the DLL.
Why did I ever need to give up UNIX?
