Default Can I create a checklist that changes color as items are check

Hi Bear -

Thank you for the response.

I am looking to create a checklist that will need to be completed every time
an employee performs a task. The idea is that the employee will go to the
document template on a Sharepoint site, and save a copy for their use.

The font for all the checklists items will be in one color (let's say red)
when they begin their task. As they complete each checklist item, they will
check the corresponding box, and the color will change (to black, for
instance). The idea is that when all the checklist items have been checked,
the font will be one color that was different from the starting color.

Thanks for your help!

You could use a formfield from the Forms toolbar, an ActiveX control from the
Controls Toolbox toolbar, or a MacroButton.

The underlying idea is that you're going to have some kind of macro operate
that changes the font color.

That in turn means that your document will need an accompanying template to
work correctly.

None of this is a terribly big deal, but if, for example, you're hoping to
e-mail a document that changes colors, you may not want to use Word.

Can you be more detailed about your application?
