Default Selecting multiple options in a form

Cooz,
Thank you for your reply. I have the dropdown-list form, but it only allows
me to select one of the listed items. Is there a way to pick more than one
without creating several different dropdown-list forms? For example, In
resolving a problem a person could have taken several standardized actions.
When they use the template to record their actions they could select all of
the actions that were applicable. The final document would then only show
the actions they took and not the entire list.

Hi Longhorn,

Save the form as a template. Place dropdown-list form fields (3rd button on
the View | Toolbars Forms toolbar) where the user can select what he wants.
Add the options to each form field by means of its properties (4th button).
Protect the template (last button, or 'Tools | Protect document' to provide
a password) and save it.

Users can make their own documents based on the template, with his selected
options in them.

Good luck,
Cooz
