I have checkboxes in my headers and they don't seem to be appearing in my
TOC. Is there any way to manually put them in without unlinking the TOC?

Example:

Form 1............1
Form 2............2

I would like it to be:

[] Form 1..............1
[] Form 2..............2

I manually put in a couple checkboxes next to the header and when I clicked
update they disappeared. Any ideas? I need to keep the TOC linked because we
update headers and pages a lot. Thx.

I assume that this is related to your question about Printing only certain
pages in a form in the VBA General Newsgroup. If that is the case, it would
be best to keep it all in the one thread so that we might have an idea if
the assistance that you have been given there has given you what you need.

If this is a new issue, what is the purpose of the checkboxes? Is something
supposed to happen when they are checked, or is some subsequent processing
going to be dependent upon the state of the checkbox.

You could always write a macro that performed the following.

1 Delete and existing "Table of Contents" that had been unlinked and
modified by the addition of checkboxes
2. Create a new Table of Contents
3. Unlink it and insert checkboxes where required

Whenever you wanted to update the Table of Contents, you would re-run the
macro.

Hi Doug. It is related to my project but a totally separate question and
issue. I don't want the checkboxes to do anything fancy. They are there
because they will give us a quick glance as to what forms are filled out of
of the 50 that are in the form. I found a macro that would highlight the
checkbox red if checked so they would stand otu a little. My only problem is
getting them to stay when I update the TOC. I manualy added them all in and
all was working fine until (to my surprise) they all were deleted once I
updated the TOC.

Like my earlier requests for help, this one seems to be way over my head. I
just thought that there might be simple way to somehow put in some text
manually in the TOC without it being deleting when updating. I think I'll
just call it a day with this a unlink the TOC when I know everything is
finalized.

Thanks again.

Get the Checkbox Add-in that can be down loaded from Charles Kenyon's
website at:

http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#PageStart

With the autotext type of checkbox, they may be handled by the TOC process..
I haven't tried it though.
