Formatting checkboxes

[HomeWerks]

Two questions about checkboxes:

1. Is it possible to have the "X" in a checkbox be one color, red for
example, and the box be another color, black for example?

2. Is it possible to insert another symbol in the checkbox, a checkmark for
example, instead of the "X"?

Thanks.

No, there's no way to do that.

Instead of a checkbox form field, use "checked" and "unchecked" box
characters and switch them with a macro. See
