Dear All,

Our work just upgraded our computers, our operating system to Windows 7 and Office to 2010. Now the issues are coming to light.

I want to use custom icons on the ribbon for my macros. I see you can rename the icons. I see you can change the icon to one of about 100 icons that Excel provides. But what if you want to use something else for the icon? Is there a way to import a picture, graphic or text to use as an icon on the ribbon?

In Excel 2003, I loved that you could have text represent an icon. This was awesome for icons of macros. Alas, I do not see where this is possible in Excel 2010.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

GL

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
