Checkbox Alignment

[faithcmbs9]

In MS Word 2007, I'm trying to insert an Active X checkbox form field into a
line similiar to:

My favorite color is: <box> Yellow <box> Blue

My problem is that the checkboxes and accompanying text sit above the level
of the rest of the line, such that it ends up looking like:

<box> Yellow <box> Blue
My favorite color is:

I can't find the property/setting where I can change the positioning of the
checkbox and accompanying text to be level with the rest of the line. How do
you do this??

Thanks!

You can set the "Wrapping style" to something other than "In line with text";
you can then position the control wherever you want it. Note, however, that
it will be easier to keep it in line with text, and just place it in a
separate paragraph:

My favorite color is:
<check box here>

Also, you should be aware that ActiveX controls are likely to cause issues
with macro security in Word. It will be easier to use content controls or,
for backward compatibility, form fields.
