On/off buttons
I have learned Word through a lot of trial and error over the years, and
think I have gotten pretty good at it. This means that I do not have a lot of background info, and don't really know the names of things. I want to create little on/off buttons that you see on the web, the circle with the dot for "On", and the circle without the dot for "Off". I don't even know if it can be done. What would be really cool would be to have an empty box, but when someone clicks on the box, have it turn into a box with a check mark in it. Any guidance (and the name of what I am trying to do so I can look up more info on it) would be of great assistance. Thanks a lot! -Heather |

On/off buttons
The check boxes are easier. Read
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm for one way to do it, and http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22 for another way. The circle-and-dot gizmos are called "option buttons" or "radio buttons". There is a way to get them from the Control Toolbox toolbar, but they're considerably harder to work with. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...dc_activeX.asp. Another way to use them is on a userform (a custom dialog that you program in the VBA macro language). Start at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
