I have a worksheet that I am using to keep track of payments made. I want to
make the cells checkboxes but I want the checks to print when I print the
document.

I cannot even figure out how to create the text box.

An alternate method.

Format the cells to Marlett font then simply type lowercase "a"

If you want a checkbox, open the Forms Toolbar and select the checkbox.

Draw it where you want then right-click on the edge and Format
ControlProperties.........chackmark in "Print Object"

hi
if you have a lot of checks, a checkbox may be more trouble than it's worth.
instead you could format the column that you intended for check boxes to the
font
"Marlett" . you could then use the lower case letter "a" to produce a check.
font format "wingdings2" - upper case P produces a check and upper case R
produces a check inside a square. all of these should print on any standard
printer.
