Creating uniformed and aligned checkboxes within a table

Hello!

 

I have a form with a table and the table needs to have checkboxes (one in each cell). I have aligned them vertically centered but I want them each to appear in the space location, 'floating' in the cell. I need to do this for four different columns and eleven rows each so doing this manually is making me pull my hair out. Any easy steps is much appreciated.

Thanks!

  • Align the first column vertically be selecting all check boxes in that column by dragging the mouse around all of them, right-clicking on one of them (the one with the best left-alignment), then selecting  Align Left form the alignment menu.
  • Move each check box up or down by selecting it and pressing the up or down arrows on your keyboard until it's in the correct position in the cell.
  • Now drag the mouse over all the check boxes in the first row, click the first cell and select Align Horizontally.  Do this for each row.
  • Align the remaining columns vertically by using the method in the first bullet point.
