Customized Toolbar Macro Buttons
In Excel 2003 I created numerous Macros for repeated functions that aren't
available from MS. I then created (designed) my own Toolbar buttons to easily run these Macros. Why isn't that "Copy Image" "Paste Image" and "Edit Image" function still available for Modifying Toolbars? Once again MS thinks it knows better! |

Customized Toolbar Macro Buttons
It sounds like you are using Excel 2007. Copy and paste image are available
via macros. To do a custom face, Copy the image into Excel. It can be any size. Then copy it and do a PasteFace to put the image on the button. I suspect the reason the features disappeared is that it gave the users a lot of freedom to customize Excel. And that resulted in support calls to Microsoft, which in turn cost them money. No feature, no support calls, more profit......

I'm not finding PasteFace anywhere. I did a search for more information and
came up with nothing, both in Help and in this forum. What I'm trying to do is copy the custom toolbar buttons I made for my custom macros in Excel 2003 to Excel 2007.

Customized Toolbar Macro Buttons
Would you mind backing up a few steps? I've never done anything like this
before, so I need to be walked through step-by-step. Where would I do this? Are there more steps that would be obvious to someone who's more experienced? Thanks.

So what you're saying when you say "Sorry not your own icons" is that
MICROSOFT THINKS IT KNOWS BETTER - what we their customer want...Right? MS Giveth (Excel 2003); MS Taketh Away (Excel 2007) Another reason NOT TO UPGRADE!
