How can I add a button to the Microsoft Outlook toolbar to open a particular Web page?

Office XP and Office 2000 Toolbar buttons, including those in Outlook, and more versatile than you might expect. You can use them to launch a page or file follow these steps:

1. Choose View, Toolbars, Customize.
2. Drag any command from Commands to the toolbar.
3. Right-click the button you dragged and choose Assign Hyperlink from the context menu.
4. Type the Web page you want to go to, then click OK.
5. Right-click the button again, then change the rest of the properties (e.g., Name, Button Image) to suit you.
6. Close the Customize dialog box.

Clicking the button will open the Web page in your browser, not in Outlook.

In Outlook 2002, you can drag a Web page that you opened in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) to the Outlook Bar (not the program toolbar). Then, you can create a new link that opens in Outlook itself, not in the browser.
