Running a separate utility.

Big Rick

Hello Folks,

Please can someone tell me if it is possible to start separate utility
programs from within Publisher. I use Nattyware's Pixie and Steve Miller's
Puretext utilities among others and want to know how I can put these onto a
toolbar and run them by clicking on them rather than go looking for the
program when I realise I need them.
I am using Publisher 2003.

Your help is and always has been very much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Puretext installs in the systray when you run it. Put a shortcut to
it into the Startup folder so that you won't have to think about it.

Ain't got a clue about Pixie.

You can put a Pixie shortcut on the Quick Launch toolbar. PureText has options.
Right-click the icons, you can use hotkeys for both Pixie and PureText.

Thanks Mary,
I thought it would be you that came to the rescue.
Hope you have a Happy New Year.
