I want to define a custom arrow shape as a newcommand macro that takes one argument, the label that should appear to the right of the arrow. However the following code doesn't work in the preamble:



newcommandarrowdown1
tikz[baseline=-1ex]node [draw, fill=orange, single arrow,
minimum height=3.5ex, single arrow head extend=1ex,
rotate=-90, right] #1;



I get the following error:



You can't use `macro parameter character #' in restricted horizontal mode. Missing begindocument.
