Rick, with the development of the Enhanced Toolbars (based on Shlomo Perets' work) I got quite an insight. Unfortunately the requested function "have a command that would show/hide text symbols and borders at the same time" is problematic since FM-9, because part of the function must be set up in the customui.cfg file and the other part in the cmds.cfg: Of multi-code commands FM-9/10 executes only the first code. Partly fix: - The commands must be located in cmds.cfg, menu Add and Order remain in customui.cfg Commands involved: GoToMasterPage, GoToRefPage - If buttons should work, no menu specification must be present in customui.cfg Commands involved: EditingView, PrintingView Please look at the following files: Section "Background Information" in http://www.daube.ch/docu/files/fm9-etb-en.pdf Shlomo's file (1999!) http://www.daube.ch/docu/files/microtype_toolbars.pdf HTH Klaus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Docu + Design Daube; Sch?racher 11; CH-8053 Z?rich Technical documentation & consultancy; On-line and paper F: +41-44-422 86 25 E: ddd at daube.ch W: www.daube.ch
