Yep, I've toyed with using a label as a button, and seen the workaround of layering 2 layers on top of each other to produce vertically centered wording. &nbsp;Was hoping to avoid that. &nbsp;I may just tell my designer this is a case where function is going to win out over form. &nbsp;<br />

Thanks

Simple question. &nbsp; In a UserForm created by VBA, I'd like to turn off the 3d look of a CommandButton. &nbsp;The ComboBox control, for example, has the SpecialEffect property where I can change the default sunken to plain. &nbsp;I don't see any such control over the look of a CommandButton. &nbsp;I am going for the look on the right below. &nbsp; Can anybody help? &nbsp;Thanks!<br />

MS Office UserForm Button Style - Can I turn off 3D effect?

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
