How do I do check boxes in cells?

[Cocoanut]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel One of the only things I like better about iWork vs. Office is the ability for Numbers to *easily* format a cell with a check box. I'm looking for ANY way to add a checkbox to a cell so I can make a simple checklist.

I see a checkbox control in the Form palette but it's behavior is not what I'm looking for and it seems to be useless unless I write a macro or script to make it work.

Please tell me this is possible.

Thanks.

You don¹t need a macro to make a check box work. Just add it to the
worksheet where you want it. You can then check or uncheck the box. We will
need more detail from you as to ³what you are looking for² and why it ³seems
to be useless².

I am able to insert a check box in 2008 but can't make it resize to fit my needs...I insert it via the "Forms" toolbar...Any ideas?

thanks!

What are your needs? You resize it by dragging on the corners. What is not
happening that you think should be happening?
