The information in this article applies to:
If you create a custom text button for a toolbar, the toolbar text may become truncated after you switch to a new video driver and restart Word for Windows.
If you create your custom text button while the "small fonts" version of a video driver is running, then switch to the "large fonts" version of the video driver, the toolbar text no longer fits in the button, so some letters at the beginning and end of the button text are cut off. Word does not adjust the size of the toolbar button to accommodate the new font size.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
To correct the problem, modify the toolbar button using the following procedure:
1. Display the toolbar that contains the button you want to modify (use the
Toolbars command on the View menu).
3. Select the Toolbars tab.
4. With the mouse, select the toolbar button you want to modify.
5. Point to the right edge of the button. When the mouse pointer shape
changes to a two-headed arrow, drag the button to a new width.
An alternative workaround is to delete the toolbar button and re-create it.
