Changing the caption of a command

You can modify the display type, caption, or image of a command without programming. By default, a command dropped directly onto a toolbar has the display type Image Only, while it has the display type Image and Text when dropped onto a menu. Menu headings can only have the display type Text Only.

NoteNote:

The caption will not be seen for buttons and tools if the display type is Default Style.

TipTip:

Menus and their contents can be accessed from the keyboard by holding down the ALT key and pressing the underlined letter (the access key). Create one of these access keys by typing an ampersand (&) in front of a letter in the caption.

Steps:
  1. Make sure the toolbar containing the command whose caption you want to change is visible.
  2. Click the Customize menu and click Customize Mode.
  3. On the toolbar, right-click the command you want to change.
  4. Click Name on the shortcut menu and type a new caption in the text box.
  5. Press ENTER.

    The new caption is applied.
