Default Excel 2007 duplicate icons for different commands

This is what I don't like about GUI's.

Just looking at those "green dots" you have no idea what they represent. You
can do a mouse over to get the context description but that seems to be
redundant. I mean, isn't that why there's an icon in the first place, to
replace the need for a context menu?

I prefer text commands over icons!

Bring back DOS! <bg

Quite right Ron.
I missed the point that Biff was making, and had read it as Paste Special.

Sorry Biff, I should have realized you wouldn't have got it wrong!!! <vbg

Hi Roger

Click on the arrow of the paste button
Right click on formulas, Paste values, no borders, transpose .......

All use the same green icon

Hi Biff

I get a Green dot for Clear Contents, but a normal Paste icon with the
Clipboard for Paste Special.
Using SP1

The first "green dot" is Paste Values

The second "green dot" is Clear Contents

Brilliant!
