Here's a good article from the Office Experts that talks about creating a custom toolbar and adding custom buttons: http://www.theofficeexperts.com/VBASamples/Word01.htm.

You can use this to create the toolbar and the button that you want for your macro.


close word and hyperlink to a web address.

This code will close the Active Document on Word, and will then follow a hyperlink.

ActiveDocument.Close
Application.FollowHyperlink "http:\\www.vbaexpress.com", , True

You could use Application.Quit to exit word, but this will kill Word as a whole, which means it would close other documents that may be open, which is not a good idea, since your users could potentially have other docs open that they don't want you to force-quit :whistle:
