    Centering check boxes

    Is there any way to center a check box in a report? I can't move it from the top left. What am I missing?

    Short answer is no - but you can adjust the left position

    alternative is to use a text box to display a checkbox Character - see this link

    The only way I'm aware of is kind of a hack:
    1. In design view select the checkbox
    2. Go to the ribbon "Arrange" tab -> "Insert Left" to insert a new column left of the check box column
    3. In the report header ctrl+click the header label and the new blank header the left of it
    4. Click the ribbon "Arrange" tab -> "Merge"

    So now you've created a spacer column to the left of the checkbox. You'll have to manually adjust the left column's width to push the checkbox to the right and effectively center it under its header label to your liking.
