check boxes
I have a form in Word 07 with multiple check boxes.
I would like to check one box, and automatically have another check box get a check, instead of manually checking the 2nd one, which leaves room for human error. There are 2 instances of this on my form. Hope this make sense. -- Thanks, Sharon |
