Turning Cell into Checkbox

[lorenodonnell]

Does anyone know a simple way of converting a cell into a checkbox
format in an excel spreadsheet?

Maybe not what you're looking for, but . . .
You can add a checkbox on top of the cell and link the cell to the
checkbox.

copy this entire code in a module,
highlite where you want the checkbox and run the macro
when you click on the cell a check mark will appear
only problem is, you can't enter text in the box because the webdings
font is what creats the check mark
