XL97: Bitmap Image Shrinks When Pasted on a Toolbar Button

When you copy a bitmap image on a worksheet, dialog sheet or Microsoft Excel 4.0 macro sheet, and then paste the image on a toolbar button, the image shrinks and may appear distorted. This problem may occur when you manually or programmatically copy and paste the bitmap.

This problem occurs if the bitmap image that you copy is formatted with a border.

To work around this problem, remove the border from the image before you copy it. To do this, use the following steps:

1. Right-click the picture and click Format Picture.
2. In the Format Picture dialog box, click the Colors and Lines tab.
3. Click No Line in the Line Color list and click OK.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
