Answer 2

Hello Phan, Nhan,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum

I understand you wish to know why the checkbox you created looks different from your friend.

Your friend is using the new modern in‑Cell checkbox, these checkboxes are inside the cell, not floating objects inside an Excel sheet

Here is how you can create these checkboxes:

• In Excel, select the cells where you want checkboxes
• Go to Insert > Checkbox

This creates the same bold, high‑contrast checkbox your friend has.
