ActiveX Command Button Text Looks Bad

I have created an ActiveX command button and the text on the button looks crude. I know that is not very descriptive but I am unsure how to describe it. The text looks jagged and some letters are missing chunks of their letters. The font I have chosen is Calibri. If I create a Form Controls button I do not have this problem but I want the button to have a particular background color so I do not believe I can use a Form Controls button. I do not know why the other Calibri text on the worksheet looks fine while the ActiveX Calibri text does not. The attached image shows the two buttons with the top one being the ActiveX button while the bottom is a Forms button.

Any way to fix this? Thanks,

Hmm, it looks to me like on the ActiveX control that the top and bottom couple of rows of pixels are missing on the text. I think it is noticeable at the top of the "G" in "Gas" and at the bottom of the two e's in "Worksheet". I do not think I am crazy but maybe I am. I did notice that when I click the ActiveX button it then looks fine until the focus on the sheet goes away from the button.

I have included an image of another button. Maybe it is more noticeable. In this image the top is the ActiveX button without it being clicked while the bottom is the same button when clicked. Once focus in the sheet goes away from the button it returns to looking like the top.


Thanks for the help,

I tried that and it did not help on those buttons. I am not sure how the graphics of the buttons work but it is almost like the text on the button is in something like a text box and this box is too small and truncates the text at the top and bottom. If this is true and I could make the text box bigger (not the button itself) then maybe that would solve it.

Here is yet another image. This is what the buttons look like if I make them bigger. It still looks like the top and bottom of the text is being truncated. However, looking at them closely it looks like it is more than just being truncated. The bottom text looks 'flatter' than the top text. This is noticeable in the 'o' and the 'e's.

Here is the workbook. Thanks for the help.

I am using Excel 2007 and I inserted the ActiveX buttons using the Developer -> Insert -> ActiveX Controls -> Command Button. I am not sure what you mean by that they do not behave like ActiveX buttons? I had not inserted any code for the buttons yet.

With respect to, the look of the text on the button, I guess I will just accept it and move on.

Thanks again for the help,
