Pretty Buttons...

[SamuelT]

Hi all,

So I've got a number of buttons on a spreadsheet with macros assigned
to them. No problem there. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can do
anything to make them look a bit more interesting than the grey blocks
that they currently are. Can't seem to find any kind of formatting
options that deals with the appearance.

I know I can use the the Custom Buttons feature, but this is a
corporate document and I'm not sure the CEO would approve of big smiley
face buttons, a la early 90s rave T-shirts. I'm thinking more in terms
of colour, perhaps a gradient - that type of thing.

TIA,

SamuelT

"Buttons with macros assigned to them" are usually those from the Forms
toolbar. You can't change them much. But you can assign those macros to
absolutely everything created by the Drawing toolbar; pictures, textboxes,
shapes, ... You can make it look like whatever, and the result depends only
on your style and taste.


HTH. Best wishes Harald

Just thinkng out loud here, and not sure if it's possible, but could you
create something suitable in Paint and apply that?

use shapes from the drawing toolbar that can be customized in many ways with
a macro assigned to them.

I use imported images, .jpg's etc, and assign the macros to them.
I have one for each member of my family, my pets, etc etc..........
