hi
if your are draging the check box to the sheet......start over.
go to viewtoolbarsCONTROL TOOLBOX.
locate the check box and drag it to the sheet.
Right click the check box, click properties.
on the properties sheet you can change the font size, color, ect.
the form controls were add to excel to work with user forms.
the sheet controls are much more versital.

I am creating a check box reply in an Excel spreadsheet. I went to View
Toolbars Forms. I clicked on the Check Box tool and clicked and dragged in
the spreadsheet to draw a check box. When I type to label the newly created
check box, I can not seem to change the font, make the text larger, bold,
etc. It looks like it may only be 9 pt. Arial.
