Graphic issues.....

A co-worker has put together a series of buttons (100+) that when clicked
take you to an inventory sheet that is filtered to show the parts
represented by the button that was pushed.

The problem: The buttons do not appear uniform. Some appear bolder than
others, some higher than others, some appear normal.
All the buttons are the same size and conform to cell boundries. They are
side by side and this issue makes an otherwise nicely written workbook
appear shotty. Any suggestions?? (WinXP, Excel 2000)

Thanks!

have you used the alignment properties in the drawing toolbar? Draw=>Align
or Distribute

Perhaps if you get them lined up properly, then the other problems will be
resolved.

or if you want to try a quick fix that may or may not achieve what you
want...

Dim B As Object
For Each B In Sheet1.OLEObjects
If B.OLEType = 2 Then
B.Width = 100
B.Height = 50
End If
Next B


You can add more parameters other than just width and height, as you
like, take a copy first incase the results are not what you want

Thanks for your replys.
He has the buttons lined up in consecutive cells and sized the same
but I don't know if he used the alignment tool to accomplish this. I'll let
him know.
