At this point I'm ready to hit the rum bottle. I have inputed names of
medications down column A, then sorted it to be in alphabetical order.
Next I wanted to put a checkbox next to each one to allow someone to
mark the boxes when looking at a printed copy to indicate which
medications they are currently using. When I got to view - toolbars-
forms and insert a damn checkbox, I get a rather large object with the
identifying caption, such as 'checkbox 1'. This isn't what I was hoping
to do. Then I tried to insert a checkbox and change the caption to a
name of a medication. Of course it won't let me cut and paste so I get
to retype it in. Then I insert the next box but it isn't aligned with
the previous box, so I move it to do so. Then by doing so it clips some
of the letters of the box above it such as the letter 'P'. At this
point I am ready to become a monk and say the hell with it. I have
Office 2003 and tried to use infopath to do it but that seems to be
over my head too.

Can anyone out there help me with this in a manner that will make
things look nice and be aligned and hopefully won't make me retype the
200+ medications I've already entered?

Many thanks
