Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way in Word to have a box
that can be checked electronically? Right now, I use
wingdings to put a box that can be checked manually when
the form is printed out. But I need to convert it so that
the box can be checked manually instead of someone
deleting the box and using the "x" key. Any help is
greatly appreciated as usual!!

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.

Hi Kelly,

There is. View Toolbars Forms. You also may want to look up "forms" in
offline help. There's a lot of good info there.
