Formatting text in a check box

L

I made a check box on a form in Excel and typed the word "Rush" in it....then
tried to bold "Rush" and enlarge the font. I couldn't find where to format
the text in the "Format Control" menu, or any place else....my formatting
toolbar buttons were grayed out too. Has someone found a way to do this
gracefully? (I ended up inserting a small text box in the Check box text area
to get the formatting capability.)

Try using the checkbox from the Control toolbox toolbar--not from the Forms
toolbar. Then you can show the properties and change the font.
