How to use Control Toolbox
Unless you're creating UserForms, I would avoid the use of the Control
Toolbox, as it inserts controls that will trigger a macro warning when a document is opened. -- Suzanne S.

How to use Control Toolbox
The use of the Active-X Controls in the Control Toolbox require a
familiarity with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming language. If you're not a coder - or don't have access to someone who is - those tools won't do you much good. Start by looking up the Control Toolbox in Word Help. For most forms design the Forms Toolbar provides the tools you need & those don't require any programming knowledge.

How to use Control Toolbox
Here's an article that will help some more in getting started. But pay
special attention to the section near the beginning about "Appropriateness for the Task." IMHO these things aren't appropriate for most tasks; a protected form or a userform are better. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Wed, 22 Nov 2006 10:18:27 -0500, CyberTaz wrote: The use of the Active-X Controls in the Control Toolbox require a familiarity with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming language.
