Select the shape you want from the Shape dropdown, draw it onto your worksheet as you would a button control, then right-click it and select “Assign Macro…” from the pop-up dialog. Excel includes a wide variety of customizable Shapes including polygons, arrows, banners, and more that may be better suited to your worksheet than a regular button control. With a Picture or Shape, you can make a button that looks any way you like.
This is unchecked by default, but can be toggled on if desired.īesides buttons, macros can assigned to other objects like Pictures, Textboxes, and Shapes.
Finally, Print Object can set the object to appear on printouts. Don’t move or size with cells: The button will not move or resize. 
Move but don’t size with cells: The button will move, but not resize. Move and size with cells: The button will move and resize when rows and columns are changed. Of particular note is the “Properties” tab, which changes how the button behaves as surrounding rows and columns are inserted, deleted, resized, or hidden/unhidden. Here you can adjust font sizes, and many other button properties: To format other button properties, Right-Click > Format Control To add multiple lines, simple press the ENTER key.

Next, move the mouse anywhere over the worksheet surface, then hold left-click and drag the mouse to draw the outline of a rectangle. There are several types of controls divided into two sections, “Form Controls” and “ActiveX Controls”.įor now, just click on the Button control under “ Form Controls”.

Click File > Options in the list on the left-hand border. If you don’t see the Developer Ribbon, follow these steps: 
Unfortunately, Excel hides the Developer tab by default. Children building toys… not men designing machines, sadly.Buttons are accessible via the Developer Tab. The computer industry today - short voice activation, which is the real goal - has more interfaces to what should be a STANDARD MECHANICAL DEVICE than the automotive industry ever came up with in more than 200 years of development. Going back & forth is the real issue because people develop a natural kinesthetic reflex response to the keyboard they have, the smartphone they have, etc.
My dad (to whom I provide endless free computer tech support) has the short keyboard. Data Merge for PowerPoint: PPTools PPTMerge merges data from Excel.
The maddening thing… is that you have to use different keyboard sequences depending on the keyboard you have. The PDF convert software preserves the formatting of your file with all text and. However, most computer professionals use the standard wide-QWERTY keyboard with attached number pad that has paging function buttons (page up, page down, arrow, etc.) Unfortunately, on most iMac models they ship (by default) the shorter office keyboard. Actually… what you can do ALSO depends on which Apple keyboard you are using.
