Word Macro on a button Calling Google Calendar

The command-line that calls the Google calendar app is

“C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe” –profile-directory=Default –app-id=kjbdgfilnfhdoflbpgamdcdgpehopbep

How can I set that up as a macro that I can then use in Word 365?

I’ve tried a couple things in the Visual Basic Editor in Word, but cannot seem to get it right.

The attached PDF are the instructions I have written to launch any app from within Word. And yes, it uses a macro. You can create a icon for it and attach it to your Quick Access bar.

Be sure to include all the shortcut such as
“C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe –profile-directory=Default –app-id=kjbdgfilnfhdoflbpgamdcdgpehopbep”

NOTICE: I moved the quotation mark after proxy.exe to the end. Not sure how that works as a shortcut (correction – I see it is a command), but as a shell command in the macro the whole shortcut is placed in quotes and not just the Path address.

If the above doesn’t work – exactly how are you using the “command” to open the Calendar.

And make sure the quotes are not copied from the text above – the forum software changes quotes.

Use this instead:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe" –profile-directory=Default –app-id=kjbdgfilnfhdoflbpgamdcdgpehopbep
