How do I make a form checkmark look like a checkmark and not an X
The Office 2003 Check Box Form Field is supposed to produce a nice check
mark, however it just shows as an "x" in the box instead. How do you get the nice check mark (like the one that is in the Forms toolbar checkbox icon)? Thanks! |

You can't with the checkbox in the Forms toolbar. However, there are a
number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do not.

How do I make a form checkmark look like a checkmark and not a
Thanks Greg,
I like the step-by-step guide - easy to go through. There is an issue with using macros in our corporate environment in which we aren't normally allowed to use macros, but that is nothing that any of us can do anything about. Microsoft, if you are listening, could you add a non-macro feature to custom define the checkbox check in forms, or another way to make the check box into a box with a check in it rather than an X in it? (They call them checkboxes because you can put a "check" mark in there  ) Thanks."Greg Maxey" wrote: Or for a checkbox and other toggle objects, see: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to avoid macros to not run into
company policy issues, but that may be a lost cause. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Get the Checkbox Template Addin from: http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn -- Hope this helps.

Can you make them tick/untick with a single click?
