Default How do I place font buttons on the Toolbar

I constantly switch back and forth between Arial and Symbol fonts. Is there
a way I can place those specific fonts on my Toolbar as buttons so I can
switch back and forth more conveniently? Thanks!

Default How do I place font buttons on the Toolbar

Record a macro for each of your font changes, one for Arial and another for
Symbol, then right click on any visible toolbar and select CUSTOMIZE. Click
the COMMANDS tab, scroll down until you find MACROS and select it. in the
COMMANDS panel to the right of the CATEGORIES panel, click CUSTOM BUTTON and
then click and drag it to the toolbar of your choice. The FORMATTING tool
bar would be a natural for this button.

Right click on your new button andin the NAME field type the name of the
font that it will change to and then clck TEXT ONLY (ALWAYS). This will exit
the menu, so right click once again on the new button and select ASSIGN
MACRO. Select the macro of you choice from the list of available macros.

Repeat the procedure for the second button
