Text Box Border Won't Work
I've created a form using tables with some checkboxes. I want the checkboxes
to be outlined in red instead of black. I read on someone else's post to click on format/text format and then just change it there. When I go to format, I don't have a "text format". I'm using version 2003. Thanks in advance. |

Try Format | Font, assuming that your check boxes are actually
characters in a symbol font. If you are using text boxes, you can format their borders via Format | Text Box. If you are using table cells, format their borders via Format | Borders and Shading. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mommatee" wrote in message ...

If you need information about creating *clickable* check boxes, see:

I guess I used the wrong subject. I'm using "check box form field".

Text Box Border Won't Work
Thanks - that worked except maybe I'm being a little picky but I don't want
my font to change to red, only the border to the check box. Is this possible? Thanks "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Format | Font will work for Check Box form fields. -- Suzanne S.

Text Box Border Won't Work
Did you select only the check box when you changed the font color? This will
change only the check box, checked or unchecked. -- Suzanne S.

Text Box Border Won't Work
I hi-lited only the text box. Right mouse click, font, red. This did what I
wanted (changed the square part of the box to red). But then I locked the form to test it, I clicked in the red box & now a red "X" is typed in the red box. I want a Black "X" in a Red Box. Thanks.

Sorry, you can't have a black X in a red box (whichi is what I meant by
"checked or unchecked"). -- Suzanne S.
