PPT Gods:
I've created a sub that copies the custom button faces from a toolbar
into a powerpoint document. I can then open the document on another
machine and use another sub to recreate the toolbar using the custom
faces. However the faces get pasted with a grey background rather
than a transparent background... I'm at the edge of copying the faces
to an excel toolbar, but before I jump I wondered if anyone has
crossed this bridge or has a better suggestion?

Ivan,
Is this a COM add-in or a PPA add-in. There is an article available in the knowledge base to achieve tranparency of icons on toolbars for COM add-in. You can modify to code to suit your needs.
