Insert a column to the right to hold the checkboxes which I assume are being
inserted from the Forms toolbar (ViewToolbars and select the Forms item).

Hi Anne
Many thanks for your quick reply. I'm not really sure what I am doing
either!!!!.
I am making out a registration form for people to fill in. I have put
options in where they have to tick a box next to the appropiate answer.
all I
want is a box next to each question in a vertical row. It won't let me put
the boxes in after I have typed some text. I have even tried to put a text
box in but it still won't work.
Thanks
Sarah

Sarah: What do you mean "in front"? I have a feeling you're using the
checkbox from the Control Toolbox, and you may want to be using the Forms
toolbar as indicated in this article:
