Link macro to Quick Access Toolbar?

[trillium]

Hi



I would like to attach a macro to the Quick Access Toolbar in Word so that users can run the macro anytime they need to do batch formatting. I have the macro, it runs fine, as long as it's in the file itself.

However, it will be our Admin assistants who will be opening the files (generated from a system), so I need an easy way for all of them to have access to the SAME macro. I was hoping I could save the macro on a shared LAN and have them create a link to it through the Quick Access Toolbar? But I can't seem to make it work.

The other idea is to help each of them to instead the macro MANUALLY into their Normal.docm files (not idea, very computer UNsavy).

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :-)

An easy method is to save your macro and its ribbon or QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) button in a template and distribute that template for use as an add-in.
