Size, Rotation, and Ordering not available for forms Excel 2008

[fogharty]

I need to align a huge number of check boxes on a form. They are
considered objects, so the Size, Rotation, and Ordering option should
show up on the Formatting toolbar, but it's not. So how do I align and
space 1000+ checkboxes?

You are correct. Size rotation and ordering is not available for objects
in Excel 2008. I guess you'll have to do it manually, or on a Windows
version of Excel.

Well then, why does the 2008 Help tell me to go there?
MS hates Mac People!
I'm working backwards on Excel 2004.... better than nothing.
Thanks, Bob.

Point of clarification: Size, Rotation & Ordering *is* available for
[Drawing] Objects in Excel 2008, but Form Field Controls are not treated as
drawing objects.
