I'm having an issue with an Excel file I have created in Excel 2007 for Windows. When I open it up on a Mac (Excel 2008), my form controls don't seem to be working as well.

I have a few checkboxes aligned horizontally that end up all screwy. Some are on top of each other and most are completely haphazard. I also have a scroll bar that is seemingly a LOT slower to scroll through that on my PC. I understand this could have to do with the power of the PC/Mac, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas on (1) best practices when creating files to be used across both operating systems (2) a way to preserve the formatting of the form controls?

Thanks!
