Default Put icon for a macro on my toolbar

I have created a few macros and can see their names when I press Alt F8.
How can I put an icon for one of them on my toolbar so that I can execute it
quickly? Also, how can I assign a function key (like F11 or Alt M) to it?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Bob S. Click on Tools | Customize | Commands tab. Select "Macros" from the list on the left, and drag a macro from the list on the right to the toolbar area.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for these two articles. They were both quite helpful and answered my
questions to the Tee. I have bookmarked them as well. Thanks again.
