Is there a way to change the Font stlye of a commandButton control ? another
related question is how do I create my own taks panes so I could add text
with a prefeared fomart.

No, there's no way to specify the font for any part of any toolbar
(commandbar). The font setting is taken from the Windows system settings.

You can only create panes in Word 2003 and 2007. In 2003, you must use the
SmartDocument interface and link the document to an XML schema. If you use the
.NET tool VSTO, it will do this for you on the fly. In any case, for 2003 a
task pane MUST be document-specific.

For Word 2007 you can create a custom task pane as part of an application-level
Add-in.

Given your requirements, unless you target only Word 2007, I think your best
bet is to create a non-modal UserForm. You can set the basic font
characteristics for controls on UserForms.

I am develpping a Language tool addin for yoruba, which includes a spell
checker and word lookup tool, so I need to present a number words in a a
special font for users to select from. My thoughts are to use a commandbar
or a task pane.
