Just normal click it to get the button selected (I am never sure if this is
left or right button I use a left-handed mouse), and then when it is
selected, use the normal mouse button to highlight the text, just as you
would if you highlighted pat of a formula, part of code, etc. When
highlighted, you can edit.

Bob - how do I select it without clicking it?

I just left-clicked holding down the mouse for a few seconds wondering
what I might be able to do in conjuction with this <<but gave up so
I release my mouse and the code associated with the button ran..

I created several buttons - Now I wish to edit the
text that I originally put in. When I right-click on
any of the buttons (thinking this is how one would
get into edit mode) NOTHING happens; Even if I
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.

TIA,
