Accessing the "Printed Watermark" dialog in XP/2003

[Trevor Henderson]

Hello All
Is it at all possible to do a .Show directly to the watermark dialog you get
to via the menu system clicks of Format -> Background -> Printed Watermark.
We use this watermark dialog a lot and would like to bypass all the menu
clicks.
Here's hoping

Hi Trevor,

Go to Tools Customize. With the Customize dialog open, go to Format,
Background, Printed Watermark, Hold down the Ctrl key and then click the
item & drag it to any toolbar you want it to be available on.

Now that you are aware that it is possible to customize toolbars, you might

Hi Trevor,

Since Microsoft hasn't seen fit to add that dialog to the Dialogs collection
that's accessible from VBA, the best you can do is a SendKeys that simulates
entering the menu selection keystrokes:

Sub DialogWatermark()
SendKeys "%okw"
End Sub

Assign a keyboard shortcut or toolbar button to the macro.
