How to create listbox and checkbox in Word form
In the past, I have been using the "Checkbox Form Field" from the Form
toolbar to crearte checkbox. When I fill in the form, I click the checkbox, it prompts me the "CheckBox Form Field Option" window and I'll then click the "Checked" or "Not Checked" and then click Ok to save the setting Today, I receive a form that contains a number of Checkboxes and Drop-Down boxes. Unfortunate, the form is protected s.t. I cannot see the property to learn how it is created. I noticed that all checkboxes in the form DOES NOT display the "CheckBox Form Field Option" window. I can directly check on the square box which either shows a "X" for checked and "blank" for unchecked. In this form, I also see a drop-down box which also show the drop-dowb symbol to indicates that it is a drop-down box. Can some one please tell me how to 1 - create a checkbox that will allow me to check/uncheck directly on the CheckBox ? 2 - how to create a drop-down box in the Word Form ? I tried the Help and it was not clear to me on how to do ? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. |

How to create listbox and checkbox in Word form
Just do what you've been doing and protect the form (that's the way it's
supposed to work). See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.
