Just asked and answered yesterday Samantha!

Here's how "Albert D.Kallal" answered:

Take a look at the 3rd screen shot here:

note how the button has both a graphic, and text on top.

I simply put a button on the screen, and then threw on top a label.

However, that label area is not clickable. The other approach is to make
the button trans parent. However, this makes the button image go away
also. So, you just put both the image, and the text label behind the
button (use the send to back on the format menu...and this works, and you
don't get the tiny text area that is not clickable).
