It is easy to insert buttons and WRITE on them but you need to remember - if you LINK the button to a page and then COPY that button and paste to have similar buttons (the button is just a picture) the LINK (to whatever you linked it to) will ALSO COPY!
Go to INSERT - Picture - from file and you will get the following choice - NOTE THE YELLOW FOLDER ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN - that means you want to find a folder on your computer that has pictures/buttons in it.

IF YOU GET REAL GOOD, You can choose component instead of PICTURE from the insert menu (NOTE!!! with XP service pack 2 and VISTA, most of the Hoover buttons or other components will NOT work)
{You can choose a COMPONENT and there they have "Hover buttons" but not all browsers use them and they can be difficult to change and work with so we will use a button we borrow from the Internet (www.webdeveloper.com has neat buttons and animated gifs)}
I chose THIS EMAIL button but it
could be ANY button - Plain if you want to write on it.
This is a button
I inserted to write on
I just
"CLICKED ON IT AND CHOSE COPY AND PASTE TO GET ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE
IT!"
I also clicked on the button and the "MENU AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN" became active. I clicked on the "A" and was able to write and resize. Note: you can copy THESE buttons if you want to.
