How do I add toolbar button for frequently used template?

[L8RG8R]

My boss wants me to add a button to her toolbar that "you just have to click
and there's my fax cover sheet and all I have to do is fill in the
information." She doesn't want to go through the process of pulling up the
template through the menu each time.

Well...you can record a macro that opens the template with File > New.
Then put the macro on the toolbar or a custom menu.

Here are some links to provide further details...

If you need help understanding how to record a macro, see this free

And for basic info about customizing Word toolbars/menus, see this
article (similar to the one above, but less technical and not so much
macro info)...
