How can I convert ActiveX controls to Forms? Are there other options to get STABLE controls?

[pragmath]

I have developed some macros in Excel 2013. When run in Excel 2007 the ActiveX controls go bezerk.
I can think of two options:
(1) convert to Forms controls. How to do that easily? (but fonts are tiny and no background color)
(2) perhaps recreate the ActiveX controls in VBA (not sure though).
(3) any other suggestion to get STABLE controls? (I think it is a scandal that MS does not fix this problem)

Thanks.
