Insert Word symbols into the text

For technical texts you sometimes need a toolbar icon from Word - e.g. formatting commands or the email symbol. And this is how you insert the button symbol in older versions of Word.

Customize the toolbar and select icons

For older versions of Word (2000, XP), proceed as follows:

• To insert such an icon in the text, right-click on the toolbar and select "Customize".
• Then click with the right mouse button directly on the corresponding symbol in the bar and go to "Copy button image" in the menu.
• The icon is now on the clipboard. Close the "Customize" dialog and insert the icon at the desired position with [Ctrl] + [V].

Note: Unfortunately, the tip does not work with newer versions of Word (from 2007).
