It's not that the font doesn't scale - it's that the button still needs to be
big in spite of the smaller font size. I set the font down to 8 points to see
if I could make the button smaller and still read the caption, but of course
that failed.

How can I get around that? If you use a button on the "Forms" toolbar you
can make the button real small and still read the caption, but I need an AX
control for certain functionality.

Thanks for your input.

how big or small you make the button, the font should not scale.

I am using Office 2003 on Win XP.

When I draw an ActiveX button (i.e. from the "Control Toolbox") on a
sheet,
you can't read the text on the button (its caption) unless I make the
button
twice as big as I want it (even though the font size is set to 8 points).

I can't seem to find any way to tighten up the borders or gutter space
around the text. Does anyone know how to adjust or compensate for this?

Thanks much in advance...
