Default can you change the font of a check box display (forms)?

Using 'forms', can the font size and characteristics (e.g., bold) be modified?

Not for Forms toolbar, only ActiveX

Not AFAIK.

Checkbox from the Control Toolbox has much more flexibility in this.

Your advice is not valid when adding a checkbox from the Forms Toolbar to a
worksheet.

It is valid when adding a checkbox to a Userform in VBE

I guess now it is up to OP to tell us which.
