Numbers v10.0 (6748) checkbox size adjustment/change/increase/decrease

Is it possible to change the size of the checkbox in Numbers v10.0 (6748)?


I tried to increase it with Format/Font/Bigger or (⌘+), but no change. 



The only way to visibly do this is with an increase in Zoom, but then you'll need to decrease the font size of everything else.

Hi Morgan,


Is this a cell formatted as a checkbox, or a 'ballot box' character from the Character Viewer (aka Emojis and Symbols)?


The checkbox in a cell whose data format has been set to 'Checkbox" has a fixed size. (cells B3 and B4 below)


A checkbox, or ballot box, inserted in a cell from the Character viewer(cells C3 - D4) can be expanded cy changing its point size in the Text. Inspector. The ones in column C are the default size (10pt) when dragged into the cell from the character Viewer and dropped; Those in column D have been resized to 96pt.

If you intend the checkboxes to active in the document, you need the checkbox data format. The ballot box characters are for display only.


Regards,

Barry
