Bolding check box field in Forms

[Dianne]

I am creating electronic forms and my users would like the
check box fields to show up better on the printed form. I
haven't been able to figure out a way to BOLD the check-
box field. It seems that no matter what font, etc. that I
choose, it always looks the same (other than size). Any
suggestions?

Hi Dianne,

I am creating electronic forms and my users would like the
check box fields to show up better on the printed form. I
haven't been able to figure out a way to BOLD the check-
box field. It seems that no matter what font, etc. that I
choose, it always looks the same (other than size).

Checkbox field from which toolbar? And which version of Word
are we discussing?

A slight tangent, but perhaps the best approach for you: are
you familiar with Word's built-in FAX templates? Ever taken a
look at how these "do" checkboxes? The MacroButton fields
they use also work in documents protected as forms...
