Something like this would be very easy to create.
First create a button style:
<Style x:Key="ZoomIncreaseDecreaseStyle" TargetType="{x:Type RepeatButton}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="false" />
<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type RepeatButton}">
<Grid>
<Ellipse Stroke="Gray" x:Name="Ellipse">
<Ellipse.Fill>
<RadialGradientBrush ... />
</Ellipse.Fill>
</Ellipse>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Ellipse" Property="Fill">
<RadialGradientBrush ... />
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Trigger>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style>
Then modify the ControlTemplate in Blend (create copy), and add something like this around the <Grid>:
<DockPanel>
<RepeatButton
DockPanel.Dock="Left"
Command="{x:Stastic Slider.DecreaseLarge}"
ControlTemplate="{StaticResource ZoomIncreaseDecreaseStyle}">
<Path Data="{StaticResource MinusGeometry}" />
</RepeatButton>
<RepeatButton
DockPanel.Dock="Right"
Command="{x:Stastic Slider.IncreaseLarge}"
ControlTemplate="{StaticResource ZoomIncreaseDecreaseStyle}">
<Path Data="{StaticResource PlusGeometry}" />
</RepeatButton>
<Grid>
...
You can play with the button stroke color, gradient fill, and the + and - paths to get it the way you want it. I assume the actual Office 2007 buttons are copyrighted so you probably won't be able to copy them too closely without infringing. But this will give you something visually very similar.
