Checkboxes- From 10 days ago...
DH:
I downloaded the file you indicated. Those check boxes are macro button fields. You can determine whether or not your check boxes are macro buttons by right-clicking on one and seeing if the shortcut menu has Toggle Field Codes. Click that command if it's there. You may see { MACROBUTTON Xxxx []} where Xxxx is the name of the macro, and [] is my approximation of a checkbox image. In the downloaded file, these macro buttons were referring to a macro that was not present. So you may need to open the VBE (Alt+F11) and see if you can determine where the macros should be, and put them there. It may be that the document contains a reference to a file that is now in a different location. That was the problem with the downloaded FAX form. Bear Windows XP, Word 2000 |

Checkboxes- From 10 days ago...
Hi D.H. and Bear,
The version of the 'Professional' Fax cover sheet template thast shipped with Word (ProfFax.dot or Professional Fax.dot - depending on Word version) prior to Word 2007 includes two autocorrect entries and two macros that provide the 'toggle' of check/unchecked functionality behind the macro button check boxes. The version of the same template on OfficeOnline http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...129531033.aspx does not include the macros or the autocorrect entries. The autocorrect entries are basically two symbol characters one is the unchecked box the other is the checked one. These are the macros included in the 'regular' version of the template that you can restore to the online download version. '====First Line============ Sub CheckIt() ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("C hecked Box").Insert Whe=Selection.Range End Sub '================= Sub UncheckIt() ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("U nchecked Box").Insert Whe=Selection.Range End Sub '======Last Line========== You can open the OfficeOnline Professsional Fax template, use Alt+F11 to enter the VBA editor. Select there the current (professional fax) template and then paste the above macros in. Hover over the 'save button' in the VBA editor to be sure it's saving the 'correct' template/document then save the macros into the template. You'll still need to create the two autotext entries. Fortunately g the process for creating checkbox toggles, using the macros and autotext entries from the original MS template, and how to use different choices for the buttons is documented in the step by step article at: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm ========================= "DH" wrote in message ... Thanks for the reply Bear. Now you've got me wanting to go back to the office to check this out....! But, I think it can wait until Monday.
