Word2007. Checkbox. No Form
Hello!
We have a document (not a form) that we would like to use checkboxes in. This document has a couple of sections where it would be useful if the user could check if something is applicable. We can't protect the whole document. Thank you for your help! Stacey |

Word2007. Checkbox. No Form
I actually used this feature in a form this morning. Although you don't say
what version of Word you are using, you can access the Control Toolbox toolbar in Word 2003, or in Word 2007, it is on Developer tab. To show the developer tab, click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Word Options. Select Popular, and then select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" check box. There is a checkbox option which can be found there. No need to lock the form. Hope this helps. Joanne Orzech MS Word MVP "Stacey" wrote: Hello!

My apologies - I just noticed that the title of your question contained Word
2007... so use the toolbox on the Developer tab as indicated above. Joanne Orzech MS Word MVP "Joanne Orzech" wrote: I actually used this feature in a form this morning.

Word2007. Checkbox. No Form
Thank you for getting back to me Joanne! If we don't lock the form, then in
order to check the "checkbox" you need to double click (or right click and hit properties) and then change the default to checked. This can be quite cumbersome (and is what we do now). Isn't there a way to have a checkbox, but not use a form? Thank you!

Word2007. Checkbox. No Form
Yes, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm. It still requires
a double-click, but it's much more satisfactory than a check box form field incorrectly used. -- Suzanne S.

Word2007. Checkbox. No Form
If you use the Active X checkbox from the developer tab - legacy tools
palette, and set the design mode to off, the document does not have to be locked and you don't have to mess around with properties. It's a simple one-click operation. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Stacey" wrote in message ... Thank you for getting back to me Joanne!
