The first "green dot" is Paste Values

The second "green dot" is Clear Contents

Brilliant!

Hi Biff

See
http://www.rondebruin.nl/imageqat.htm

When you create a add-in you can change the icons of the things you want in your QAT
Not so easy but I try to explain it here

Hi Biff

I get a Green dot for Clear Contents, but a normal Paste icon with the
Clipboard for Paste Special.
Using SP1

Quite right Ron.
I missed the point that Biff was making, and had read it as Paste Special.

Sorry Biff, I should have realized you wouldn't have got it wrong!!! <vbg>

This is what I don't like about GUI's.

Just looking at those "green dots" you have no idea what they represent. You
can do a mouse over to get the context description but that seems to be
redundant. I mean, isn't that why there's an icon in the first place, to
replace the need for a context menu?

I prefer text commands over icons!

Bring back DOS! <bg>
