Open a Web Page from a Toolbar in MS Office

Channel: Windows | Carol's Corner Office | (related terms: customize dialog box, button, toolbar)
 
 

You can add, remove and otherwise customize your Office application toolbar. Toolbar buttons usually perform some action (e.g. underline text) or execute a macro. They can do a whole lot more than that too, such as open a Web page!

Follow the steps below to learn how to do this:

  1. On your toolbar, click on Tools | Customize to display the Customize dialog box.
     
  2. Select the Commands tab.
     
  3. Click and drag one of the commands to your toolbar. It doesn't matter which one you drag -- it can be any one of them because it is only going to be a placeholder for now. For our purposes, just drag the first one (File | New). When you drop the command on your toolbar, it will change to a button.
     
  4. Do not close the Customize dialog box.
     
  5. Right-click on this new button and select Change Button Image. Select a new image for your button.
     
  6. Right-click on the new button and select Assign Hyperlink, then choose Open.
     
  7. In the dialog box that appears, enter the Web site URL, such as http://www.carolscorneroffice.com
     
  8. Click on OK.
   
   
   
 
   

Now, when you click the new button, your browser will be opened to the home page of Carol's Corner Office!
