macro rename symbol

I have a bunch of pictures that I have setup macros to insert into an excel file.  I have used the rename macro feature to give them meaningful names, but would like their symbol to be the same as the picture.  Is there a way to add pictures to the symbol file?

If you are talking about the InsertSymbol files, then you may need to move to another Topic Area...

The symbols contained there are from installed fonts.  I am not sure how those fonts are made exactly (I am no designer), but I would assume you could create your font set based on those images and then upload it to use.

Correct me if I am not understanding the original question.

I have added the macros to a Macro Group under the Developer tab.  They all show up with the same symbol.  If I right click on them and choose Customize Ribbon, The Group shows up in the right had window.  They can then be Renamed.  This brings up the dialog box with the Symbol and the Display name.  I would like to add the pictures to the Symbols.

OK, I understand what you are looking at now!  I'm not sure why they called those symbols, they are technically icons...

Anyways, Ron DeBruin has you covered in his artcile: Customize the images in the Quick Access Toolbar.

Let me know if that get's you going or if you need help.
