For the first time, Word 2003 allows you to add menu items or toolbar buttons that can be used to insert pictures into your documents, or to load documents from live hyperlinks. |
If you have an image you use repeatedly?for example, a logo?consider adding a toolbar command that will enter it with a single click. Similarly, if you have a commonly used document, you might want to create a button or menu command that opens it via a live hyperlink. You can hyperlink to documents on your hard disk or network, your corporate intranet, or even a public Web site.
The following two sections cover adding toolbar buttons or menu items that insert pictures or hyperlinks.
To create a toolbar button or menu item that inserts a picture, follow these steps: |
Choose Tools, Customize.
Right-click on the toolbar button or menu item you want to insert a picture (instead of performing the task it currently performs).
On the Customize shortcut menu, choose Assign Hyperlink, Insert Picture. The Assign Hyperlink: Insert Picture dialog box opens (see Figure 31.9).
Browse to and select the image you want your toolbar button to insert.
Click OK.
Right-click on the button or menu item again to display the Customize shortcut menu again.
In the Name box, rename the toolbar button or menu item to reflect the new image; or use one of the other Customize shortcut menu options to assign an appropriate image.
