Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Checkbox in table cell (inside of a frame)

Hi William,

you got a reply from Brian Barker, already on 1 January. He replied only to
the list, that might be the reason, why you thought you didn't get a reply.
I copy and paste his reply to you here again.

But next time, please make sure, that you look on the list or in the online
archives, if you really don't have a reply.

Sigrid

The help text talks of clicking the toolbar icon of the required control
and dragging in the document to create the control. You sound as if you
have tried to drag from the toolbar to the document, but this is not what
is meant.

Instead:
o Click the toolbar icon.
o Move the cursor back into the document.
o Notice that the cursor has changed from the normal I-beam to cross hairs
with a subsidiary rectangle.
o Now drag the cursor from one corner of your desired rectangle to the
opposite. To create an accurate square, hold down the Shift key as you
release the mouse button.
o To cancel insert mode, choose any one: click the icon again, or click in
the document without dragging, or press Esc.

I trust this helps.
