How to make Microsoft Word Object a shortcut in the the top bar?
Q. I use the Microsoft Equation 3.0 object (Microsoft Word> Insert> Object) quite frequently (almost every sentence!) I was wondering if it was any way possible to make this object a 'shortcut' button in the top bar- where the shortcut pictures are, not the drop down bar. Anyone know if this is possible?

A. Go to tools, customize Click on the commands tab Under categories, Select 'Insert ' Under commands, scroll down until you see 'Object' (about 10 commands from the bottom) or... equation editor (about 20 from the bottom) Click on the command and drag it up to one of the toolbars (an I-beam will appear while you drag it across a toolbar). Click close
