Can I SAFELY group a text on top of a shape/button?

I selected a Shape and converted it to a button. Reason being, I like the design variations it gives me. However, I see that it does not allow me to put text in to it.

My question is, can I safely group a text on top of this converted shape to button and use it without problems in my final project?

Thank you.

Wrong, any shape can also be a text container. Double-click on the shape or use F2 to go into editing mode.

That is one of the reasons I am such a big fan of shapes. When they are used as shape buttons, you can even have different labels (text) in all states. Have a look at the movie in:

Playing with Captivate 9 - Captivate blog

Everything you click in that movie is a shape button. Watch the states.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

I noticed that a grouped object will not do a "show to rest of slide.)
