I have recorded a macro and I want to create a button and link to the macro.
I don't want to add the button to an existing toolbar. I want the button to
be located in the body of the worksheet.

How do I create the button, move it where I want it on the worksheet, and
edit the name to something that is meaningful to the user (i.e., instead of
"button17")?

Do you have the rectangle button on your toolbar. It looks like a box.
If so, click on it and drag to wherever desiredright click it and you can
assign a macro and format it.

ViewToolbarsForms

Select the button drawing tool(second down on right side)

Draw a button, edit the text then right-click and "Assign Macro".

Why a button?
You can assign a macro to any inserted picture.

Or a piece of wordart or any other object you might think of.

Many in Autoshapes on the drawing toolbar to start with.
