Default Excel buttons display differently on different PC's


We built a Excel VBA application. We noticed however, that a command
button displays diferently from one PC to another PC with the exact
same Excel version. The problem is that the text on the Button is
cutoff on one Pc; but displays in its enitety on another PC. BTW-- the
two PC's in question have 17" monitors, both using Excel 2000.

What is the solution so that the button name text displays in its
entirety on all PC's?

I don't know about the button itself being cut off part, but part of the
question might be referring to tool tips that don't show up until
you pass the mouse over the button.
Tools, Customize, options, show tool tips
you can right click on the tool bar instead of using Tools, Customize

If the buttons are cut off, I wouldn't have an answer but I would certainly
for starters check the system Display settings
in the control panel for screen resolution to see if they are the same.

Its the actual "Text" that is cutoff inside the button when viewing th
same button on different PC's. Should I look at font settings as well

Hi Paul,
Sounds like a good idea, if the font does not exist another font
would have to be chosen somewhere in the system. Right click on the
button to see if that brings up properties -- probably right-click on the
outside edge. Check to see that the font is in your font table and is
scaleable.
