Change button image

Flip · External Since: Jul 26, 2007 Posts: 2

Hi Ng,

To change a button image I can draw something using the image editor or
choose from a pallet of 42 examples.
Is there a way to extend or replace this pallet?
We have Word 2000

You can't add to the palette but you can use any icon previously copied to
the clipboard.

Hello Graham,
Yes but only icons copied from Word's bars and (of course) not all of them.
'Paste' from the menu will be grayed. Or am I missing something?
Too bad about the pallette though.
Thanks,

Flip

You can use any graphic small enough to be used that is on the clipboard.

Those graphics are 16x16 pixels. Can I make a graphic in photoshop,
size 16x16, copy it, and then paste it onto a toolbar button?

Yes, that will work. See part 5 of
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomButtonImages.htm for
details.

Hi Lady D.,

In Word 2003 you can actually paste just about any photo/graphic to a button and Word will 'shrink' it down to the size of the icon
(i.e. you don't always have to start your own 16x16 block to play with <g>) and Word also reduces the number of colors, but it's
surprisingly effective in many cases if folks have an idea of what the original picture was.

For example, I can take a portrait of 3"W x 4"H of a happy couple and paste it to an image from within the Word document and since
you're seeing both the before and after it generally looks like the picture (especially if the couple is on a light colored
background.
