How do I align check boxes with the text that comes before it/

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm creating a simple doc that contains many questions. After each question,
I use check boxes for a Yes and No. What I can't figure out though is how to
align the check boxes with the text before each box. The check boxes by
default are aligned middle left in the box field that they appear in. When I
go to 'view code' , Format, Align, all the align options are greyed out.
There has to be a way to align the check box to bottom left? Any suggestions?
I can email a sample doc to show what I mean if needed.

Thank you,
Keith

It may be simpler to use another method to insert your check boxes - see the
relevant section at http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm

You can change the font size. There are a number of ways to create and use
clickable checkboxes in documents / templates. Some require protected or
locked forms, others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available
at http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an
exploration of these.

Thank you for the help. I'm having a little difficulty getting the macro to
work but I will keep trying.

Just to confirm then,-- there is not way to align a check box? It's always
dropped in left/middle (always a few pixels higher than text on the same
line).

Thanks Charles for the quick post. I'll take a look at the addbalance.com
site you directed me to.

Is aligning check boxes (the ones you can select from the Control Toolbox
toolbar)not possible then?

I don't use them, so I don't know. I haven't found a use for them that can't
be better addressed by one of the other methods or a userform.
