Check Boxes
Hi
I have a worksheet that has check boxes in a number of columns that you check to indicate if something has been received. The check boxes are in 50 rows in a column named "Signed Agreement Received" I have another column that is named "Comments" If i put wrap text on in this column in case I have a lot of text to add in the columns, the check box from the cell below ends up in the cell above. There are then 2 check boxes in the one row. Is there a way to have the check box stay in the original cell even if you make row bigger by wrapping the text. I linked each text box to the cell but it still moves up Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Dee |

Check Boxes
hi
not really. controls "float" on the sheet and can't really be attached to or put in a cell. and their position on the sheet can be affected by a number of things. (as you have discovered) having realized this myselft so time ago, i use an alternative solution. instead of a check box, i format the desired cell to font marlett then use the typed letter a (lower case) to put a check mark in the cell. as a regular font, you can increase the size, color it, center it etc. and as a regular typed character in a cell, it don't move around. and you don't have to deal with 50 different check box controls. so you might want to try it. might work for you too. regards FSt1 "Dee" wrote: Hi I have a worksheet that has check boxes in a number of columns that you check to indicate if something has been received.

Check Boxes
Hi,
If you use a Control Toolbox checkbox rather than the Form toolbar's checkbox, you can right click it and choose Format Control, Properties, and turn on Move and size with cells. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
