				Discussion:

				Do you find yourself often turning on a specific toolbar? This macro demonstrates how to use VBA to create a toggle button for a toolbar, much like the Drawing Toolbar toggle button found on Word's Standard toolbar. Our sample displays the Function Keys (F1 - F12) Toolbar.
The Function Keys provide some useful shortcuts. There is a built-in Command Bar that you can toggle on and off with this macro.
