Possible to automate setting macro buttons?

    I threw this question out last year, figure I give it a try again.

    I have about 10 macro buttons that I use and would like to share with
    other coworkers. Rather than go to each machine and manually setup
    each button, anyone know a automated way of doing this? Possibly a
    macro to create macro buttons?

  2. Start the Copy Settings Wizard and tell it to export the Toolbar
    Layout/Macro toolbar only. Then go to each machine and use the wizard to
    import them. You will also have to copy any macros that you have mapped
    locally.

    Wayne, I dont see an option to export a particular toolbar. Are you
    talking about the "Copy Options Wizard" ? The only option I get is to
    export all settings to a registry file.

    Wayne is correct, except this only works if you place all your macro
    buttons in the macro toolbar.

    Otherwise, you can use the copy options wizard, then modify the
    resulting file to include only the buttons or settings that you wish to
    share.
