Button Editor in Excel 2007
Greetings,
I just upgraded to Excel 2007 and I am adding custom buttons to my Quick Access Toolbar to run my macros. I noticed that you cannot edit or create/draw a custom button like previous versions of Excel allowed. Does anyone know if this feature was taken away in 2007? Can a button be created in Paint and saved in the same folder where other the buttons are stored? Thanks David |
Button Editor in Excel 2007
I don't know of a way to add a custom face to a QAT button. The best you
can do, as far as I know, is to add a built-in image to a button. You do that by editing the Excel.qat file that contains you QAT customizations. The available built-in images can be gotten here. There are thousands so maybe you can find one that adequately depicts what your macro does http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en The Excel.qat file is found he C:\Documents and Settings\<username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE You'll find a piece added to it for your macro, like this: <mso:button idQ="x1:test_1" visible="true" label="MyMacro" onAction="MyMacroSub" / Add this attribute for your chosen image: imageMso="AccessFormDatasheet"/ Note that changes like this to Excel.qat are not supported by MS and if you make a change to the QAT from within Excel your edits will be lost. (So back up your edited QAT.) -- Jim wrote in message oups.com... | Greetings, | | I just upgraded to Excel 2007 and I am adding custom buttons to my | Quick Access Toolbar to run my macros.
