How do I add a tooltip to an Excel toolbar button without coding?

S

Simple

I have created a button to run a macro. When you move the cursor over it, it
says "Custom Button" ... I want it to say "Print Report". How can I do this
within Excel without having to do any coding?

I am a complete novice when it comes to coding within Excel and have no
reason or desire to want to learn. I want to use the "built-in" features of
Excel to accomplish this.

Also, I would like to know whether I can MODIFY an existing custom button to
run a macro other than the one it was originally created for.

Thank you very much.

Assuming a Button on a ToolBar

Tools>Customize

Right-click on the button and change the name at "Name"

At the same time you can "Assign Macro" to change the macro assigned to the
button.
