When modifying a Word 7.0 template in Word 97, a custom toolbar button
that
is assigned to a macro will reappear after the toolbar button is removed
and the template is saved as a Word 97 template.
Use the following procedure to remove your custom toolbar buttons and then
re-create the desired buttons in Word 97:
- Open the Word 7.0 template in Word 97.
- On the Tools menu, click Customize.
- Under Toolbars, click the toolbar that contains the custom toolbar
button, and then click Reset.
Word will present the Reset Toolbar dialog box, prompting you to:
Reset changes made to <toolbar name> toolbar for: <macro name>
Click OK. The custom toolbar button will be deleted, and the macro will
be retained.
NOTE: This procedure will reset all custom toolbar buttons on the
specified toolbar.
- Re-create any toolbar buttons you may want assigned to your macros.
- Save and close your template after making your changes.
Word will prompt you with the following message when you save your Word
7.0 template in Word 97:
The template <file name> and its macros will be converted to Word 97
format when this template is saved. Do you want to save the
converted
template to a new file, or overwrite <file name>?
Do one of the following:
- Click "New File" to save your Word 7.0 template to a new Word 97
template name.
NOTE: You will now have two versions of the template on your system.
One template in Word 7.0 format and one template in Word 97 format.
-or-
- Click "Overwrite" to save your Word 7.0 template to a Word 97
template using the same template name.
NOTE: Your Word 7.0 template will not exist anymore. It will be
converted to a Word 97 template. You will no longer be able to use
the template in Word 7.0.
