Does any one know how to turn an image into a command button? or a
toggle button? The standard command button is retangular, and i want to
make it into a different shape, i tried editing its properties and
inserted an image , but the image is contain inside the rectanglar
shape.. not in its orginal shape, which is an arrow shape

Jay

Jay, can you right click on your image and assign a macro to it?

Just open the Drawing Toolbar and pick from autoshapes.

Draw your arrow then right-click and "Assign Macro".

Pretty well any object or image can have a macro assigned to it.

Wordart can be used if you want something with text.
