How do I enable a button in the quick access toolbar

[dpb001]

I call my macro from a button in the quick access toolbar. When I load my template which contains a bookmark I want the button enabled. When I load a different template that does not contain the specific bookmark I want the button disabled.

How do I do this? I can't see how to enable / disable the button. I could use the custom ribbon if this would work better, or an alternate method.



I think you can see what I am trying to achieve.
I'm using word 2010.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi dbp001,

If the button loads with, say, your Normal template, disabling it is probably not practical. However, since it seems the macro should only be run when a particular bookmark exists, Why not simply add some code to test for that boomark. For example:

If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("MyBookmark") = False Then
  MsgBox "Hey, you REALLY shouldn't do that", vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If
