changing the text of Form Control objects

[lezawang]

Hi, I am trying to inset Developer-->Insert-->Contol Form-->Checkbox, into my excel. I can insert no problem, but I have problem with changing the default text of these control. I right clicked on the Checkbox, then right click-->format control--> Alt text, then I entered the new text there and clicked ok. But excel did not take the next text. I had to right click on CheckBox, then doub click (to go inside the box) then Backspace and change the text. and after that when I go to format control--> Alt text, I see my text!! why the first time when I go to format control--> Alt text, it wont change the text?! thank you.

Hello,

To change the visible text on any Form Controls, you should Right Click > Edit Text.

Alt Text is a separate identifier for that object, mainly for anyone who uses a screen reader.
