Moving Buttons

[stevepain]

Hi all,

Fairly minor, but niggly point here. I am using Excel 2002, and have got some control box buttons on a couple of worksheets that run macros.

Everytime I print, or print preview the worksheet, the button moves from it's location on the sheet and obscures some of the data. The button is set such that it is not printed, however, it is annoying me that it keeps moving!

Any suggestions?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Steve

Hi Stevepain!

try this:

Right click on the button --> Format Control --> Properties Tab --> and
select the option button "Don´t move or size with cells"

this should solve this problem!

or if you don´t need to print the button you can uncheck the checkbox "Print
object" at this same way!

i hope this tip can help you!

Thanks for the input guys.

Pedro - I tried your suggestion, and unfortunately it still appears to happen.

Bob - unfortunately I cannot get your link to open - can you tell me how you reached that page,a dn perhaps I can navigate through the Microsoft support website myself?

Try this link. Bob's is missing a couple or three characters.

But Jim Rech recently posted this:

This article is now obsolete. Since the 10/12/2004 security patch
there is no need to get a hotfix (although this article does not directly
mention this fix, it's in there).

But others have posted that it didn't work for them in all their workbooks.
