It automatically made a button on the standard toolbar which does an equivalent of [Insert Object|CDPhoto Image]. I once saw the macro for it and the word OLE is part of one of the keywords used ("shell" isn't). As you may have guessed by now, I've lost that button in an upgrade to Word95. Anyone know the correct macro to get this back? I also had a button to do the same for the art gallery. Please help, Obiwan, you're my only hope! :) Mark markmad@netspace.net.au ... g- t- h--- -ssh-l-..... Buy a vowel!

The demo had just started and I was showing them how you could drag the tool bar and let it float, put it on the side and I was just about to put it back and continue and I hear someone say "can you put it on the bottom?", so I drag it down to the bottom and let go and it vanishes... Arggg.. I was able to rebuild it later, but I sure learned a lesson. Don't drop the toolbar down to the bottom. Is this a bug or feature?

If you have a copy of your old NORMAL.DOT prior to Win95 (assume you did Word95 with it),then you can get your old button and macro out of there. If not, re-installation of the scanner program is your only hope.

It was a Pentium 120 with a 256k l2 cache (no pipeline burst cache) running windows Nt server 3.51. The PC had 96 mb of memory and was running Office 95. Its the fastest loading, snappiest response I've seen on any of the PCs we have in house. I was thinking of our Pentium 120s as just "average" compared to the new PCs, but 96 mb with NT makes a huge difference.
