To change the ToolTips for a toolbar:

1. Change the word "standard" in the second line of the macro to the name of the toolbar that you want to change, for example formatting or toolbar 1.
2. On a module sheet, enter the following Visual Basic macro code:

   '----------------------------------------------------------------
      Sub ChangeTooltips()
   
         Set mytoolbar = Toolbars("standard")
   
         For Each mytool In mytoolbar.ToolbarButtons
   
            Message = "Enter a new ToolTip name"   ' Set prompt.
            Title = "ToolTip changer" ' Set title.
            Default = mytool.Name   ' Set default.
   
            ' If tool is not a gap, display input box.
            If Not mytool.IsGap Then
               MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)
   
               ' Change ToolTip name,
               mytool.Name = MyValue
            End If
         Next
      End Sub
      '---------------------------------------------------------------

   NOTE: This macro will allow you to change the ToolTip for each button on a toolbar. If you do not want to change the ToolTip for a particular button, click Cancel.
   
   The following sample code will change the ToolTip of a single toolbar button.

      '---------------------------------------------------------------
      Sub ChangeSingleTooltip()
         Toolbars("name of toolbar").ToolbarButtons("index number of button in
         toolbar").Name = "it's changed"
      End Sub
      '---------------------------------------------------------------
