To display a picture in a button cell

In the Spread Designer,

  1. Select a cell or block of cells.
  2. Choose the cell type using one of the following methods:
    • Display the pop-up menu by right-clicking the cell or block of cells and then choose Button.
    • From the Cell menu, choose Cell Type, Button.
    • Choose the Button button ( ) on the cell type toolbar.
    The Cell Type dialog box appears.
  3. In the Cell Type dialog box under Picture,
    1. Choose whether you are setting the picture for the normal ("up" or False state) position of the button or the picture for the pressed ("down" or True state) position from the drop-down list box.
    2. Choose the Set button to display an Open dialog box.
    3. In the Open dialog box, designate the path and file name of the picture you want to display in the button, then choose the Open button.
    4. Specify the alignment for the picture in relation to button text by selecting an item from the Text Pos drop-down list box.
      The text alignment setting moves the text to whichever side of the picture you specify. For example, if you set the position of the text to be on the left, the button cell displays the text on the left and the picture on the right. If the button cell does not display text, the Text Pos selection has no effect, and the control centers the picture in the cell.
    5. Choose the OK or Apply button.
