Possible to put a frame in a table?
Hi Community,
I'm interested in putting a frame containing checkboxes into a table, but i've read that this isn't possible. Does anyone know of any VB code I could use that would allow me to "trick" Word into letting me put a frame in a table? Rosanne Ramos San Diego, CA Rosanne Ramos San Diego, California USA |

None that I've ever seen. In this TechTrax article, you can see that
when I've needed to add framed checkboxes with a table, it's a tricky business to format multiple tables and frames to get the look you need. Understanding Frames and Anchors in Word http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=482 However, unless you're creating exclusive checkboxes, you CAN just drop the checkbox right into the table cell itself...but I'll guess you may already know that fact and DO need the frame? If that's the case, you'll need to get creative with your table/frame formatting to get it right. (Although I will also watch this thread to see if anyone DOES come up with a trick...as I'd also love to know about it.) Good luck... Dian D.

Thank you Dian for your response! I'll definitely look at the article. Also,
Jezebel made a comment object model (I also posted this in the Programming forum), so I'll look in that direction, too. "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote: None that I've ever seen.
