I have a workbook with a lot of sheets, so we hide/unhide some as needed. I am trying to setup a toggle "button" that has been created with a shape & text. In the macro I would like the shape text to change between hide and show. I have tried several ways, but none seem to work. I drop the buttons on the sheets directly, they are not in user forms. Command buttons have not been used, because of limitations in formatting. (But I can change if this is the only way)

Code:
[FONT=Calibri]Sub MacroVisible2()[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]
With Worksheets("Macros")[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri].Visible = Not.Visible[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri].Shapes("btnHS_Macro").TextFrame.Characters.Text= IIf(.Visible, "Hide Macro Sheet", "Show Macro Sheet")[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]End With[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]If Sheets("Macros").Visible = True ThenSheets("Macros").Activate[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]End Sub[/FONT]

As always, the great help here is appreciate.

P.S. As a bonus, if there is a better way to activate the sheet if it is made visible, I am open to learning.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
That code works for me though it does hide the sheet the button is on.

And yet your feedback clears it up for me.....the button is on a different sheet. Sometimes you just need fresh eyes! I feel foolish....and yet grateful! Thanks!
