Shortcuts, macros and custom toolbar buttons

[AcolinFlood]

One of the things I like about Word is that I can easily create a shortcut, like ALT+N for normal text, and I can create a macro, like a pre-formatted table to hold both a Note image and text as a button on the toolbar.

Is there anything I can do to automate RH, like create a button for the independant Find and Replace tool on the toolbar?

Right clicking the toolbar in RH7 does allow some customisation but not, as far as I can see, this one.

MacroExpress is a useful piece of software for automating all sorts of processes, not just in RH, bit as Multi File Find and Replace can only be accessed via the Tools pod, it might be a tricky one to set up.

Are you aware the built in MFF&R is, like many such tools, limited to searching on one line which can give false results? FAR or BKReplaceEm are much better. FAR is from http://www.helpware.net and is more polished. BKReplaceEm is free.

Personally I never use the built in tool.
