Macros

When you insert a button for a macro - how do you change the colour of the button (not the text)?

RE: macros

Hi Aimee,

Thank you for your question.

The button you have used was it created using the form button or a Command Buttin (Active X) from the Developer Tab?

Unless you use an active x command button control, i can't see a way of changing the background colour of a form button control. The only way of possibly achieving this would be to write or find some VBA code and write or copy it into the Workbook_Open event.

If you used an active x command button control then you can make sure you are in Design Mode, right click over the button and choose properties. Select the arrow by back colour and choose the palette tab and choose a colour.

I am sorry I couldn't have been of more help to you.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Make a quick copy of a worksheet

Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag on a sheet tab to make a copy of that sheet. Though this process usefully copies the formats of the original sheet, note that any Range Names you have on the original sheet will be duplicated too.

To make a copy of a worksheet's contents and formats without duplicating range names: (1) Ensure that you have a blank worksheet to paste to. (2) On the sheet to copy, click on the sheet selection square to the left of Column A's heading to select the whole sheet. (2) Copy the whole sheet. (3) Paste to the blank worksheet.
