MS Word - VBA Help (floating button)

[smithj83]

In excel I use the following macro:

With ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton4")
.Top = Target.Offset(3).Top
.Left = Target.Offset(, 0).Left
End With

This allows CommandButton4 to appear to be floating. As the user moves from cell to cell, the button moves too.

My question is:
Can something like this be done in MS WORD?

Does anyone know a way to make this happen? I'd like to have a floating button that appears at the top of the screen ( or page) no matter where the user scrolls in the document.

I know this is a dead thread, but I have the same exact question, and there's a small chance the OP might have found a solution or still be searching.

I'm using Word 2010.

Then again, a button in the quick access toolbar is probably a better solution. That's what I plan to use instead.

Something similar could be done by hooking into Word's selection_change event, but the coding would be much more complex than in Excel.
