My style shows the left border nearly on top of the first character and I’d like maybe 3 or more spaces in advance so that the word is properly centered on the button. PS: I can “hack” this by manually “adding extra spaces” as needed. But, then MS Word thinks there is a spelling error. I’m looking for a way to change the font style so that it happens automatically when the character style is changed. Okay, first, let me deliver the bad news before I make a couple of suggestions. The effects you see in point #3 above were created like this. The Tab was created by downloading a free Keystroke font then inserting the appropriate symbol from that font. #Select the picture of an office dialog box launcher. The OK button is a screen capture directly from the Word dialog box. The sentence you see boked in point #3 above is a quick screenshot of the finished sentence from the document. Unfortunately, you cannot create a style to add a box around a word or phrase. The character styling applies to the individual characters.

The paragraph styling is what you need to add a border and control the indentation (which would be used for padding within your button). The closest thing I can come up with is this (and I hesitate because it’s not simple, neat or scaleable and takes a bit of time to set up):ġ. Insert a textbox or a rounded rectangle, whatever takes your fancy. Format the border and colours as necessary.Ģ. If you choose ‘Tight’ you can move it wherever you want within your text but you’ll probably have to increase your If you choose ‘In line with text’ you can insert it inline, but it sits on the baseline and looks rubbish. Line spacing significantly so that it doesn’t look out of place. You also cannot reduce the spacing between the border of the button and the text. Draw a button using a shape from the shapes gallery.ģ. Superimpose the text on top of the button. Because they are separate, you can create a much narrower button.Ĥ. Using your screen capture tool of choice (I recommend and use SnagIt), select the finished button.Ħ. Set the text Wrap to ‘In line with text’.ħ. #Select the picture of an office dialog box launcher.
