Adding menus to icon

[Vince]

Hi all,

I have a bit of a big macro that does quite a couple of things. Now, the
users say that they would like some sort of a menu to facilitate easy
traversion through the functions.

Currently, when my template is added to the document, an icon shows on the
Toolbar. Clicking on it brings up a form which has many different controls
on it. What I would like to do is to bring down a menu (with some submenus)
provided the user clicks on something like an arrow mark by the side of the
icon. Clicking on the icon by itself should do the same thing as it does now
(show the whole form).

Currently:
--- = toolbar
----------------------
BUTTON
----------------------

Clicking on BUTTON, brings up a bring form.

In the future, desired: (-> should be a down arrow)
----------------------
BUTTON ->
----------------------
Clicking on BUTTON should bring up the whole big form (as it does now) and
clicking on the down arrow should bring down a menu and several sub menus.
Each of the sub menus when clicked on, should run an existing macro.

How do I do this? I would appreciate your advice.

Thanks,
Vince

Hi Vince,

Open the Tools Customize dialog.
Click the Commands tab.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and Select New Menu.
Drag New Menu from the right-side of the dialog to your toolbar.
Give it a button or a caption as you wish.
Add extra buttons to the menu in the same way as you would place them on the
toolbar itself.

Thank you! I thought it would be harder than that!
