Word toolbar menus

[petecjr]

Using Word built in features (not programming) I created a new custom toobar
and put a menu on the toolbar. Each of the items on the menu call separate
macros I created. I would be able to reduce the macros called down to one if
I knew which menu item had been selected. How do I do this? Thanks for any
help.

Hi petecjr

The ActionControl object is the CommandbarControl object which was clicked
to run the macro.

All CommandbarControl objects have a Tag property into which you can put
data that is unique to that button but not displayed. So you can pick up the
Tag of the button that was clicked by reading the ActionControl.Tag
property.
