Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Toolbars
Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: intel Hello Under view, I have the "Standard" and "Formatting" toolbars selected. However, I can only see the "Formatting" toolbar, the "Standard" toolbar is nowhere to be found (even though it is selected). Does anyone have any tips? Thanks. John McGimpsey wrote a macro to fix this: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/office/formattingpalettegone.html In your case, you need to change the name to 'Standard': Application.CommandBars("Standard").Top = 100 Hope this helps On 29/03/08 10:36 AM, in article ee96831.-1@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > Version: 2004 > Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I can only see the "Formatting" toolbar, the "Standard" toolbar is nowhere to > be found (even though it is selected).

I used it in 2004 version, to insert links to documents in Mail without having to attach documents to the message itself. The Web toolbar is gone, sorry. Uh, I don't quite understand what you were using it for, or what "documents in Mail" means. Can you give more detail about what you used to do and what the result was? Perhaps there is an alternate method. You can create hyperlinks via Insert | Hyperlink. > Where's the web toolbar in macOffice2008/Word? I used it in 2004 version, to insert links to documents in Mail without having to attach documents to the message itself. I use the Mail application. Instead of clogging up email folders by sending attachments esp to colleagues in the office, we used to insert links to the document filed on a shared volume. When a colleague received the email, they just clicked on the 'live' link in the mail message, and that took them to the document on the shared drive. I know you can insert a link to a document in a mail message but you have to type the whole long path/url. It takes ages and you have to get it exactly right! In Word 2004, one could 'view' the web toolbar and when you opened the word document from the shared volume, you could see the filepath/url and just drag it in to the mail message! Oh, okay, that makes much more sense. Rephrasing your question--you need a quick way to figure out and copy the filepath of the network-stored document you are currently viewing in Word. Here's my best guess--Anyone else have a better idea? In the document, Insert | AutoText | Header/Footer | Filepath and Name. Does that give you something you can copy and paste and have a clickable link when it arrives in Mail? It might not be clickable until the message actually arrives, depending. You might need to add "file://" to the beginning of the filepath to make it a link, or possibly some other prefix depending on where the document is--I don't use shared volumes, so I'm not sure about that. Once you copy and paste the filepath, you can delete the field in the document. I realize it's not that quick--first test if it works, then there are probably ways to speed it up. You can let MS know you want this functionality back---but *don't* just say "give me the web toolbar back!". Explain how you used it, as you did here. Send MS a message by using Help | Send Feedback in Word. > I use the Mail application.

Actually, I found a much more efficient way to do this by using a script to copy the filepath directly to the clipboard. Is the filename and path all you need, Jenn, or did you have to add a prefix to make the link work? hi The link did not work - that is, it did not become a 'live' clickable link when the message was sent. I added file:// in frot of the filename/path but it still did not work. Maybe the cript might do it! Thanks a lot! > Daiya Mitchell wrote: > > Oh, okay, that makes much more sense.

I restated the question wrong. It's not just getting the filepath, but also converting it to a URL-style filepath, as the basic pathname uses a different format that won't create a clickable link. This should be doable, though--in fact, other people have already done it. Can you post an example of a link that does work to open the doc on your network, messages you sent while using Word 2004? (Change the name of a folder or something so that the link doesn't really work--it just needs to show the structure) > hi > The link did not work - that is, it did not become a 'live' clickable link when the message was sent.

This is how it started file:///Volumes/Shared_Files/................ Can you go a little bit further on, enough to show the difference between a URL that works and what you get when you use the AutoText Filename? Give an example of both, if you could. > This is how it started > > file:///Volumes/Shared_Files/................ |
