Command Button Margins?

Is there any way to set margins for a command button? I find that the button
is too large and would like to make it smaller when I use Caption text.

hi,
command buttons are sizeable. you can make them about any
size you want. the text font can be reduced too.
in design mode, click the button. 8 small squared will
appear around the button. adjust the size with the mouse.
right click the button then click properties from the pop
up. scroll down to font click in the right cell the click
the small gray box. adjust the font size.

Hi,

Thanks, I have tried these suggestions, but still find that it looks as
though there is a margin that spaces the text from the left and top edges.
When I insert rectangle autoshapes and add text, I can set the margins so the
text practically touches the edge. Is there any way of editing such margins
of a CommandButton? I do not see anything in the properties of a
CommandButton, but thought I might be missing something.

Thanks

Simon
