SYMPTOMS
If you create a button object with the button tool located on the Microsoft Excel 3.0 tool bar, the button object may print with rounded corners even though it appears rectangular on the screen. In this case, it will also appear with rounded corners in print preview.

WORKAROUND
Use the text box tool from the tool bar in place of the button tool. The text box will print with rectangular corners.

MORE INFORMATION
This design feature was to differentiate buttons from other objects when printed.

Macintosh Only
Buttons will appear rounded on a monochrome display on the Macintosh if you are using system 6, and if your color settings don't support the three-dimensional appearance.
