MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / July 2007Check box appearance
When I place a checkbox in my form it has the appearance of a "flat" surface with a blue boarder and a slight fading gray. If I then right-click it and change the shading the appearance changes to a sunken 3D effect. When I remove the shading the 3D effect remains. Is there any way to change it back to the "flat" appearance? Hello Did you try deleting the check box and add a new one?

Is there anyway to use the shading and have it not change to the 3D appearance? BTW if I have forms that are already filled in how would I go about deleating the old checkbox and entering a new one without loosing the previous data? > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > > > Is there any way to change it back to the "flat" appearance? Hi, To place new check box, open the form design mode , delete the existining check box and place the new check box and bind to the same field in datasource that old check bos is binded. I hope this will help for you.

The "flat" appearance for a check box will not be retained if you apply Borders and Shading or conditional formatting. If you use Ctrl-Z right away after making the change, you can get it back to its original state; otherwise, you have to delete and recreate the check box (easiest way is to drag the field from the Data Source task pane). I assume that the check box works OK in preview mode but just doesn't look the way you want. By "slight fading gray", you don't mean to say that the checkbox shows in a disabled state, do you?

Thanks for the response. To answer your question; yes the check box works fine, and no the fading I mentioned is just the "surface" coloring like all the buttons on these pages. Is there any way to "highlight" a checkbox without using Borders and Shading? I would like to make this checkbox stand out against the others in the same area. > The "flat" appearance for a check box will not be retained if you apply > Borders and Shading or conditional formatting.

Probably the best way to highlight the check box would be to change the color or the font style/weight of the text label. Another possibility might be to put the checkbox in a table cell and set the background color or borders for the cell.
