Option circling in form
Hi,
Need help urgently. I'm working on a fill-able form (template). Let's say I have a selection of words to choose from, and I want the user to circle his/her option, how do I do that? Ex: Present on this visit? Yes No I want the user to circle either one option "Yes" or "No" by just clicking on the word of choice. Please help me with this. Your prompt respond and help is very much appreciated. Thank you |

Option circling in form
This is going to be difficult to achieve in Word.
If you're making a protected form with form fields, use a checkbox form field for yes/no answers and a dropdown for three or more choices. If you're absolutely determined to have circled words, make two circles (or ovals) with the drawing tool, insert the text (Yes in one, No in the other), and save them as AutoText entries. Also make two entries with the words without circles. Then use the technique in http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm to make them change when clicked. -- 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.
