I now see that the control name is there in the Name Box when the control is
dropped onto the spreadsheet, and that when I move to some other control by
pressing <Esc or by just clicking on some other cell, then returning to the
checkbox cell using the arrow keys results in the Name Box showing the cell
row and column instead of the component name. If I right-click on the cell,
then it is highlighted in a different mode, and the Name Box once again shows
the name of the control.

This is handier than having to follow that with a menu selection just to see
the control name.

I can then <Tab to subsequent cells that contain checkboxes and each of
them are selected in this alternate mode, with the Name Box showing the
control name, as desired. Thanks Nick.

It remains in the 'name' box. (Left of the formula bar)
