Missing Command Buttons

I have Office 2003 with SP1 installed from clean on my PC, I created a few
spreadsheets on Office XP and now need to make some mods, I copied them to
this PC but the command buttons are not showing up, not only that but if I
create a new worksheet and try to draw a new commandbutton there is no back
ground to it.

The sheets still work on the old version of Excel but not 2003 - does anyone
know if I need to add a reference or something like that ?

Its driving me crazy

Hi,

Its set to display all so that would seem ok.

A little more info on the problem:

If I try to draw a new command button on a new sheet, no matter how big I
draw it it snaps back to being 4 small circles, if I grab one of these and
enlarge it there is no background jsut an empty shape with a red x in the top
corner - like it can't find a backgroud :s

Time to call the men in the white van with my special coat

I'm sure you're not crazy but I have no idea what's going on, sorry.
