i have a very ambitious project that i am attempting.

i work for a company that uses lots of 5/8" or 1/2" and 5/16" sorts of
numbers. i want to be able to create an add in that has a toolbar that has
the ability to insert the symbols by clicking a button.

i have already created the macros, and the toolbar and edited the buttons
icons to what i want them to be. the problem is using code i found in this
site i found that it calls the icons that are premade from MS in powerpoint
to put an icon on the button. this is not acceptable. :) i want it to show
the fractions.

is there a way to create an icon with the edit button tool and save it
somewhere? in a seperate file might be ideal.

additionally does anyone know of a way to "fractionalize" a few characters?
in most font files there are 1/2s and such but i am looking to make it
possible to change numbers like 5/16 into a fraction like ½. is there some
code to do this or some font that has a load of fractions no matter how
rarely used?

thanks in advance! :)
