Possible to create conditional checkboxes in Word?
Hi Community,
I have a Word form that contains checkboxes. I'd like to set up the checkboxes so that users would only be able to check one box per category. For example, I have a category called "Hair Color" and there's six choices; if a user selects one choice, I'd like to prevent the user from selecting any other checkbox in that category. Is this possible? I'm running Word 2003 SP1 on Windows XP Pro. -- Rosanne Ramos San Diego, California USA |

Thank you *very much*, Suzanne!
 I've currently got another post out to see if the VB code can be changed so a table will allow frames. I've got a bunch of forms that contain checkboxes set up in tables, so that's my other quandary.  Thank you again for the help! --Rosanne "Suzanne S.

I saw that post, and I don't think you're going to get much joy out of that
one; I don't believe you can put a frame in a table, nor will you be able to float the frame over the table (as you could a text box). I think you'll have to rethink your layout. -- Suzanne S.
