activeX and form control

i insert option button on excel 2007, can i change the font? i read that it's not possible if i make it from form control but it could be if from activeX. the problem is activeX toolbar is somehow disabled (icons shown but can't selected), did it happen because i run it from virtual box? in my virtual box i use XP sp 3 and the real OS i use is linux. thank you

    Hello Andrew,

     

    It seems that not all features of Excel are available if you run it from a virtual machine.

    However, you can change the font color of the form control button as below steps:

    1. Hover the mouse on the button and then right-click.
    2. Select Format Control.
    3. Go to Font tab and then change the font color from there.

     

    Hope that helps

      Thank you for your response, but i can't find font tab here. Is anything wrong or missed here? I use option button or radio button if you more familiar

        Hi Andrew,

         

        Unfortunately, the font color of the Form Control OptionButton isn't changeable!

        It's only changeable in the type of ActiveX.
