Table drawing button on toolbar

Postby c3Vyb29yYQ » Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:04:06 GMT

I've just moved from Word 2002 to 2003. In Word 2002, I had put a button on 
my toolbar to draw tables. All I had to do was click on it and drag down 
until I got the number of rows and colums I needed. I can't find this on Word 
2003. There are two buttons that do the same thing: when Iclick on them, I 
get a dialog box asking me to specify the number of tables and columns. Not a 
big deal, I guess, but I much preferred the other one. Does anyone know if 
this is something that's been removed?

Thanks,
Suroor

I believe the command you are looking for is TableInsertGeneral (under All 
Commands). This is different from the two in the Table category, one of 
which has an ellipsis and the other an arrow.

1.Draw Button Not Working On The Drawing Toolbar

I creating my own business cards and I placed some vertical lines on each 
card.

After moving all text and graphics around on each business card, when I try 
to resize the vertical lines they snap to some grid point. Searching the 
internet and this forum, I found I need to click on the draw button on the 
drawing toolbar to turn off the snap to function. When I click on the draw 
button on the drawing toolbar nothing happens, so I can get to the menu I 
need, to be able to turn off the snap to function.

2.Drawing toolbar buttons greyed out

Please excuse this post if it's been addressed before, but I'm having a 
problem where certain options on the Insert | Picture menu and the Drawing 
toolbar are disabled. This only occurs on documents that I are generated from 
templates with protected sections in them. (I'll have one section with 
controls that is protected and section break before the body of the document 
where people type the body of the letter or memo or whatever.) 

It doesn't seem to make sense that this would cause issues with drawings but 
when the user inserts a picture from file, some options are greyed out.

Thanks for any ideas.

3.where is the "select all drawing objects" toolbar button

Can anyone help me please?

4.Drawing Tools not available in Drawing Toolbar

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

The things I miss the most in 2008 when working with simple drawings is the ability to simply use the Drawing Toolbar to do things like "align center," "horizontally distribute," or "send to back."

I complete understand that I could add each of these things to the Drawing Toolbar through the customization process. But I don't want to clutter that toolbar with all six different "align" tools, all six "arrange," all three "group," and both "distribute" commands. In 2003 what we USED TO be able to do is add the "align" menu button, and when we clicked that one we would get the six "align" choices. But from what I can tell the "align" button is not in the "Commands" list in the "Customize Toolbars and Menus" window, so there is now way to add the "align" button. I SUPPOSE those buttons may be hiding somewhere in the "Commands" list, but I can't find them - just the individual commands themselves.

Does anyone have know how to add the align button (and the others) to the Drawing Toolbar? Yes, all four of those buttons are in the Formatting Palette, but frankly that window is so big and clunky (and it's constantly shifting to various sizes and tabs) that I can't stand to use it; it may be the most annoying window ever created by humankind, but I digress. I was hoping when I chose to "Customize Toolbars and Menus" I would be able to drag those Formatting Palette buttons to the Drawing Toolbar, but unfortunately the Formatting Palette disappears during the customization process.

Thanks for any help....
