The following macro determines whether the "Set Print Area" button is on the Standard toolbar.

1. Insert a module sheet into a new workbook.
2. On the module sheet, type the following code:

    
         Sub check_button()
            ' Loop through all the toolbar buttons on the Standard toolbar.
            For Each x In Toolbars("standard").ToolbarButtons
   
               ' Check each toolbar button to see if it is the "Set Print
               ' Area" toolbar button.
               If x.Name = "Set Print Area" Then
   
                  ' Display a message box if the "Set Print Area" button is
                  ' found.
                  MsgBox x.Name
   
               End If
            Next
         End Sub
   						

3. Run the check_button macro.

If you added the "Set Print Area" button to the Standard toolbar, a message box displaying Set Print Area appears. If you did not add the "Set Print Area" button to the Standard toolbar, no message box appears.

NOTE: If you added a button from the Custom category in the Customize dialog box, the toolbar button will be called "Custom" (without quotation marks). To change the name of the button, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
