A check box form field acts almost like a character. While the form is
unprotected, you can e.g. select a check box and apply a larger font size or
change the font color (you can also apply e.g. bold font, but it will not
make the check box look different). In addition, you can make the check box
appear with colored fill. If you use the Borders and Shading dialog box to
apply shading to the check box, the shading will only be visible if you have
_not_ turned on Form Field Shading. Alternatively, you can apply highlight
(but you do not have so many colors to select from) €“ the highlight will be
visible even if you have turned on Form Field Shading.

Hi all,
I'm using Microsoft 2003 and have a document containing Check Box Form
fields. I find that the appearance of the checked box is not
drastically different enough from the rest of the form when checked,
and many users fail to notice when a box is checked. Is there any way
to make a Check Box bold, or darker so that it stands out from the
rest?
Thanks in advance for the tips,
David
