Hi Dick, There's one draw back though on the rotated cell/text: it's very difficult to edit. I'd advise to use variables for the text so you don't have to edit the 'buttons' directly (unless they're all different of course).

Using a table is also what Art Campbell tipped me. Now I have got that tip twice. But rotating table and text in opposite directions to auto-adapt to the text length is an excellent addition to this idea! You got me turned: using text instead of graphics keeps the option open to restyle, change and for the user ...to search! Thanks for that tip and see you June 9th on NLDITA 2010!

Adjust the frame to make it fit nicely (store a dummy version somewhere for reuse). Additionally, if you rotate the table left and then rotate the text right it will automatically adapt to the text length. - Use the Rubi text function to create special highlighting. See the web pages of Klaus Daube: http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker51.html. He made a very nice description of how to make use of Rubi tex. But indeed, if you have a fixed set of buttons, using illustrations may be more easy. Using text based images keeps the option open to make changes if needed.
