[Guest]

'Control' Toolbox when I insert it into a word document.How can I cahnge the
size of the Checkbox from the 'Control' Toolbar when I insert it into a word
document. I can see how to change the text and Frame size, but the actual
box where the tick goes is far too small.

It's not possible to change the size of this control's checkbox.

Word doesn't offer any really good support for checkboxes or option buttons.
You get most flexibilty by displaying a Symbol of some kind, from a font, as
the display text of a MacroButton field. Double-clicking (or clicking, if
you've changed the correct option using VBA) executes a macro that switches out
the one symbol with the opposite symbol (checked/unchecked).
