We create a lot of forms for our workers to use. A supervisor would like us
to put all parts that the worker types in in Bold. I have been able to do
this for all parts except for checkboxes. I tried using darker fonts, larger
sizes,?? I cannot get those check boxes to print bold. Can you help???

Have to use a different graphic symbol, at worst use a small gif.

You don't understand. We have hundreds of forms. We have to use checkboxes.
I just need to know if there is a way to make them bold. These are
government forms and they have to look the same as all the other counties in
the state. Any other ideas?

Check with the other counties to see what they are doing. There is no simple
way to make a checkbox is a protected document bold.

I do understand, just it is the only solution. What I would do is
write a macro to batch process all the files in al the folders,
looking for bold text in cell 1 and a checkbox in cell2, then
replacing the checkbox with an image.
