• Use it to indicate whether a bill has been paid
• Use it to keep track of which books you've read

Of course, those are just a few examples. You can use checkboxes for anything you like!

Step 4: Customize the Checkbox

Want to make your checkbox a little more fancy? You can customize it by changing the color or adding a border. Here's how:

1. Select the cell with the checkbox
2. Click on the Paint format icon in the toolbar
