Maybe the button was created from the control toolbox. ViewToolbarsControl
ToolBox. If so, display the toolbox and click on the design icon. Then
click your button and see if it shows the properties window for editing.

I created several buttons - Now I wish to edit the

any of the buttons (thinking this is how one would

View, Toolbars, Forms,, still nothing.. Holding
down the Control key while right clicking... NOthing;

I must not be holding my mouth right.. Can someone
tell me the magic abra-cadabra - that I might be able
to gain access to edit the text (caption)?

I'd prefer not having to delete the buttons, but then again
this isn't a problem since I don't know how this is done.

My sheet or workbook is not protected.
