In a form that I am preparing the border color of the check box is red. I
would like it to default back to black but not sure how to accomplish it. I
would also like to change the size of the check box.

Both functions are found in Format, Font - you change the border and the size
the same way you would font color and font size

I must be missing something. I originally went to Format, Font and did not
find it there. You suggest that is where I go and yet I don't see how I can
change the borders of the check box back to black. Sorry, if I'm overlooking
something but I don't see it.

First you want to highlight the check box, then when you're in font, font
color, just select black or whatever color you want. Also, with the checkbox
still highlighted, you change change the size in the font size box. Sorry if
I was unclear before

I did highlight the check box. Maybe I'm not highlighting it correctly. I
unlock the form, drag the cursor over the box to highlight it.

You are doing it correctly, I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Are
you using Word 2007? If so, then I don't know as I use 2003.

I'm stumped then. All I do is unlock the form, highlight the box, choose font
color and size and that's it. Sorry, I couldn't help.
