How do I click a check mark and have it change the formatting of the font in the cell

[Jazz004]

I have a spreadsheet with different financial goals and objectives. In one column I have the box available to click the check mark. In the next column I have text. Can someone please help me with how I can make it that if I click the check mark in the box, the font appearance can change on the text in the next cell? For example, if I became unemployed, my family's lifestyle would either be "protected" or "at risk" in our current financial situation - if I check the box for "protected", I would like the word "protected" to become a different colour and be bolded. Thanks!

Hello,

link the checkbox to a cell, then use conditional formatting that evaluates that linked cell.

cheers
