Why not just apply bold formatting to the check box form field (and perhaps
make it a larger font size)?

Word, making a template. I used form menu, chk box form field. The
"X" (when checked) isn't dark enough for our taste so I'm trying to
design an alternative that would be DARKER.

So instead, I put in a text form field in a small cell with a border.
Type is regular text, one position, uppercase. Thus when I put in an
"x" it prints a bold "X" in the cell.

Rather than my way of having to put an "x" in the field, is there a
macro I could put in the text form macro on entry field that would
toggle a space (like the real chk box) between a checked and unchecked
box.- Hide quoted text -

Hi Suzanne,

That was my first thought too. It doesn't seem to effect the actual
"X" in the center of the box. It's skinny and light no matter what I
do.

I did tests with bold, arial bold, bigger sizing. I can't get it to
stand out like a bold letter "X" does as an alternate method. I just
don't like having to type in an "X" .
