Check boxes added from the Control Toolbox are not compatible with protected
forms, so if you're going to protect the form, use a check box from the
Forms toolbar instead. If you are using ActiveX controls (which are really
intended for UserForms and not documents), then double-clicking on the check
box will open the VBA editor, in which you can change the size and other
properties in the Properties pane.

I entered design view and added a checkbox. Now, how do I change the text
size of the checkbox? I can't find a way to change it (the text change
field
is gray out)

If that can't be done, any alternative? I want the user to be able to
click
on the checkbox, without going to Locking the Form (if i use the form
method).

Using Word XP SP2 here.

Suggestions?
