Title: How do I increase the size of a check box in Excel 2016
Post by: cricket1001 on June 13, 2016, 08:06:17 PM
I want to increase the size of the check box but the only thing that increases in size is the box that has the check box and label in it.  I just want the check box itself to be bigger.  Also, is there a way to easily add or copy the check box down a column?  I don't need any labels.  I just want to have a column in a spreadsheet that I can click if certain bills are paid.  This way I can know which bills still need to be paid.  Thanks.

I am new to this forum and can't find Microsoft Office as a category.  I posted this in Windows 10 but was looking for a sub-category for Excel.  I didn't see it under software.  Am I missing something but it just seems that there isn't much organization for categories and sub-categories.  This means you have to search thru hundreds of posts to find anything that might be vaguely similar to what you are looking for.  Again, I am a newbie here and don't want to ruffle any feathers.  I just want to know where to find subcategories I am looking for, like MS Office ->Excel ->2016.
