Control box
I just created a document with control boxes and got it protected. However,
when I tried to access the document after I've saved and closed it, I can't fill in the boxes. What am I doing wrong? |

Have you used checkboxes from the Forms toolbar (which is what you need) or
the Control Toolbox (which won't work with protection)? -- Enjoy, Tony "MRyman" wrote in message news I just created a document with control boxes and got it protected. However, when I tried to access the document after I've saved and closed it, I can't fill in the boxes. What am I doing wrong? |

Control box
Unless you are programming, never use Checkboxes from the Controls Toolbox.
There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration of these. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom.
