To change the properties of a checkbox, select it (e.g. by clicking with the right mouse button) and select Form object: Properties from the context menu.
Alternatively: On the contextual ribbon tab Object, click on the group arrow
in the bottom right corner of any command group.
The program displays a dialog box with the following options:
Format tab
On this tab, you can change the size and positioning of the object. For more information, see Object properties, Format tab.
Properties tab
On this tab, you can change general settings. For more information, see Object properties, Properties tab.
Form object tab
On this tab, you can make settings for the checkbox itself:
▪Text
| Here, you can enter the text that is to be displayed to the right of the checkbox. |
▪Value
| Here, you can specify whether or not the checkbox should be checked. This corresponds to checking the checkbox directly in the document. |
▪Result cell
| Here you specify to which cell the result of the checkbox should be returned. |
| One of the following values will appear in this cell: |
| TRUE, when the checkbox is checked. |
| FALSE, when the checkbox is unchecked. |
| The error value #N/A, when the state of the checkbox is ambiguous. |
▪Appearance section
| Here you can specify the character format (font, size, color, etc.) for the text. |
▪3D effect
| If you enable this option, the checkbox is drawn with a 3D effect. |
