The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0c
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel, when the custom button image with the deck of cards on it is added to a toolbar but is not assigned to a macro, the custom button will start the Microsoft Windows Solitaire game when it is chosen. The same behavior applies to the custom button with the calculator image; when this button is not assigned to a macro, choosing this button will start Microsoft Calculator.

This behavior is by design.
