Macro checkbox
in [Beginners]

From: busterp on 5 Feb 2010 11:29 Word, making a template. I used form menu, chk box form field. The "X" (when checked) isn't dark enough for our taste so I'm trying to design an alternative that would be DARKER. So instead, I put in a text form field in a small cell with a border. Type is regular text, one position, uppercase. Thus when I put in an "x" it prints a bold "X" in the cell. Rather than my way of having to put an "x" in the field, is there a macro I could put in the text form macro on entry field that would toggle a space (like the real chk box) between a checked and unchecked box.
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 5 Feb 2010 11:44 Why not just apply bold formatting to the check box form field (and perhaps make it a larger font size)? -- Suzanne S.

It doesn't seem to effect the actual "X" in the center of the box. It's skinny and light no matter what I do. I did tests with bold, arial bold, bigger sizing. I can't get it to stand out like a bold letter "X" does as an alternate method. I just don't like having to type in an "X" . rob

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 5 Feb 2010 18:17 Those check boxes won't be compatible with other form fields in a protected form, though, will they? -- Suzanne S.
