Symbol buttons are easy to make; they place a symbol of a fixed size on the button. Select "Symbol button (system)" to select a predefined system symbol from the "Symbol/Cursor" pop-up list.

You can also load your own symbol by selecting "Symbol button (file)." In this case the symbol can be loaded from an icon file (*.ico? or *.exe). Unlike text buttons (which have a 3D appearance) and Graphic buttons (which use different pictures), Symbol buttons always look the same whether theyre pushed or normal.

You can achieve a pleasing effect by overlaying a Symbol button with a Hot spot.
