MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / August 2007Change button image
Hi Ng, To change a button image I can draw something using the image editor or choose from a pallet of 42 examples. Is there a way to extend or replace this pallet? We have Word 2000 Flip You can't add to the palette but you can use any icon previously copied to the clipboard.

'Paste' from the menu will be grayed. Or am I missing something? Too bad about the pallette though.

Hi Lady D., In Word 2003 you can actually paste just about any photo/graphic to a button and Word will 'shrink' it down to the size of the icon (i.e. you don't always have to start your own 16x16 block to play with <g>) and Word also reduces the number of colors, but it's surprisingly effective in many cases if folks have an idea of what the original picture was. For example, I can take a portrait of 3"W x 4"H of a happy couple and paste it to an image from within the Word document and since you're seeing both the before and after it generally looks like the picture (especially if the couple is on a light colored background. ======================== Those graphics are 16x16 pixels. Can I make a graphic in photoshop, size 16x16, copy it, and then paste it onto a toolbar button? ` Lady Dungeness >> SignatureBob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |
