Default Office 2007 macro buttons

I had Word 2000 and had set up macros, placed on a separate toolbar,
to create files based on specific templates (quicker than going File -
New and find relevant template).
We have now upgraded to Office 2007 and I can't create a new toolbar.
I don't particularly want to add them to my Quick Access toolbar as
I'd like several other buttons on that. Is there anywhere round this?

It can be done, but you will either need to invest the time and effort into
learning how to customize the Word2007 Ribbon or hire someone to do it for
you.

If you elect the former then you can get a started with:

If you want to pursue option 2 you can contact me via the feedback link on
the web page.

Many thanks to both of you - I'll give your ideas a try but am not a
programmer - I presume there is no easier option or you would have
told me.
