To create a command tool from a toolbar button

  1. Make sure the toolbar that contains the command you want to add to the tool palette is displayed.

    If the required toolbar is not displayed, right-click any displayed toolbar and select another toolbar from the list.

  2. Right-click on the title bar of a tool palette. Click Customize Palettes to open the Customize dialog box.
    NoteEven though you won't make any changes in the Customize dialog box in this procedure, it must be displayed when you add command tools to a tool palette.
  3. In the program, drag a command (button) from a toolbar to the tool palette and, without releasing the mouse button, move the cursor to the place on the tool palette where you want the tool.

    The black horizontal line indicates where the tool will be located.

  4. Release the mouse button.
  5. In the Customize dialog box, click Close.
