You can add, remove and otherwise customize your Office application toolbar. Toolbar buttons usually perform some action (e.g. underline text) or execute a macro. They can do a whole lot more than that too, such as open a Web page!
Follow the steps below to learn how to do this:
- On your toolbar, click on Tools | Customize to display the Customize dialog box.
- Select the Commands tab.
- Click and drag one of the commands to your toolbar. It doesn't matter which one you drag -- it can be any one of them because it is only going to be a placeholder for now. For our purposes, just drag the first one (File | New). When you drop the command on your toolbar, it will change to a button.
- Do not close the Customize dialog box.
- Right-click on this new button and select Change Button Image. Select a new image for your button.
- Right-click on the new button and select Assign Hyperlink, then choose Open.
- In the dialog box that appears, enter the Web site URL, such as http://www.carolscorneroffice.com
- Click on OK.
Now, when you click the new button, your browser will be opened to the home page of Carol's Corner Office!
