Thanks!
I do like the special font option much better. Works great!

Nope.

If you used checkboxes from the Control Toolbox toolbar, you could change the
font of the caption, though.

How about dropping the checkboxes and using a special font.

Select the range
Format|cells|number tab|custom category
In the "type:" box, put this:
alt-0252;alt-0252;alt-0252;alt-0252

But hit and hold the alt key while you're typing the 0252 from the numeric
keypad.

It should look something like this when you're done.
ü;ü;ü;ü
(umlaut over the lower case u separated by semicolons)

And format that range of cells as Wingdings (make it as large as you want)

Now, no matter what you type (spacebar, x, anyoldtextatall), you'll see a check
mark.

Hit the delete key on the keyboard to clear the cell.

If you have to use that "checkmark" in later formulas:

=if(a1="","no checkmark","Yes checkmark")

Dave,
Is it possible to resize the "Check Box" in microsft Excel? I need to
make the box itself and the check that appears within, about twice the
default size.
