Word 2007 still has legacy codes for Formfield Protected Documents I see no
problem if it was correctly set up in first instance.

I did File New Templates and Chose Urban Fax - I notice (and I like it
better and do use this myself on some templates) that MS sample has now gone
with what most people would do which is decide if it was URGENT RECYCLE etc
after fax is printed and some people do check boxes as they write the fax
(depends who author is) - so they have used a table which is the best thing
to do. I use an URGENT stamp so check boxes are not really used in my fax
templates.

They have a 2 col table with a border on the first column (box), say 0.5¨
wide and in second col they have URGENT. This is a better solution really -
the new controls have been used to TAB to each variable such as Name Fax
Number you can move down and put a TICK or an X in the Urgent box with a pen
or onscreen of course with a Symbol Tick or an X as you see fit. Not
everyone was happy having to put an X check in a formfield box.

I am not a form protected fan (just me) which is now considered legacy code
in 2007. Checkboxes are a PITA as far as I am concerned and open checkboxes
drawn with a table are very easy to use.

Perhaps it is time to review your templates and stop Forfield Protecting
them to enable checkboxes.

There is also building blocks autotext text and VBA.

I have a fax header that I created for my company in Word 2000. I used to
be
able to double click a check box and it would show a tick in the box next
to
its relevent request (Urgent, Reply, For review, please reply, etc.) I
have
tried to use this header in Word 2007 but the boxes won't check anymore,
and
I don't want to have to create a new fax header. The template has been
tried
in the original Word format and the new Word 2007 format, it just won't
work
correctly. I've tried changing field codes and even copying and pasting
the
equivalent from newer Word 2007 templates, but just can't get this to work
correctly.

Can someone please tell me what has gone wrong and give e step by step
instructions on how to fix this please.
