 Microsoft style icons & Excel style tabs

Two things,

1  I'm using VB 4 in the 32 bit environment and I'm creating a number
of toolbars for my document handling application. However, I want it
to have a Microsoft Office look and feel so I want the standard 'open,
new document, print, copy, paste' icons. Any ideas how I could get
hold of them?

2  I would like to be able to insert a tabbed control which looks like
the worksheet tabs at the bottom of an Excel spreadsheet. Is one
available? (The tabs that come with VB are the wrong sort).

The way I grab icons is quite simple:
I copy the screen into the clipboard using alt+printscreen
I paste it into my paint program
I cut what I need.

I know there are more efficient ways to do that, but that's mine.

  Grab an image of the application window containing the icons (I think
it's Alt-Printscreen...I don't have a PC here to test it on though :).
Then paste the image into a paint program and cut out the icons you want
(and save them as separate images).

  Have you tried setting the orientation so the tabs are on the bottom?
One of the properties allows you to do this.

  (Although I'm not sure if the Microsoft tab control allows this.  I know
the SSTab control that comes with VB4 provides this feature, though.)

you know who's interested in buying art to check it out.
