Re: (2) - true. If you want small toolbar buttons, use the Sheridan
toolbar widgets with the designer widgets pack. Once you learn the
toolset editor for creating the single bitmap (for all buttons), it's
very easy. Not to mention the tons of extra functionality you get.
-OR- Do NOT use the Caption property. Instead, use your favorite bitmap
editor (paintbrush with Win95 is quite good) and make the letters a part
of the graphic. I have done this with success in lots of cases.
