Okay. Thanks for your input.

Set wordwrap to True. You can make the font smaller than 8 by typing in the
size in the same place where you would select it from the list.

Still isn't great, but it might get you what you want.

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.

Something is hosed up. If the font size is 8 (or any size), then no
matter
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...
