RE: Screen Tip text for a customized toolbar button

[Ed Klopfenstein <eklopfenstein -at- proclarity -dot- com>]

Sue: 

Here's two sample snippets of code that could help. The first macro
highlights the first element in your menu bar (the File menu). Click on
something else and then mouse over the command to see the new TooltipText (I
did this so you can see the menu command that has the new TooltipText
entry). Just remember that elements of this collection are 1 based if you
use an index. 

Public Sub RunThis()
With Word.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls(1)
    .SetFocus
    .TooltipText = "Here's Johnny!"
End With

End Sub


Change to your CommandBars collection to work with buttons, as in the
following:

Public Sub RunThis()
With Word.CommandBars.Item(1).Controls(1)
    .SetFocus
    .TooltipText = "Here's Another Johnny!"
End With

End Sub
