Use these images only for the function described. Consistent use of these common tool images allows the user to transfer their learning and skills from product to product. If you use one of the standard images for a different function, you may confuse the user. When designing your own toolbar buttons, follow the conventions supported by the standard system controls.
Note 
For more information about the design of toolbar buttons, see Chapter 13, "Visual Design."
