Deleting multiple checkboxes
Does anyone know of a way to delete multiple checkboxes in a Word document?
I download a schedule and it has a checkbox with 'Remind Me' next to it. I can delete the 'Remind Me' using the Find and Replace function but the checkbox remains. I also run a Macro to get rid of all the hyperlinks at one time, it works great. Using W2K/Word 2000. Thank you |

Deleting multiple checkboxes
The answer depends on what kind of checkboxes are in the document.
Word has three kinds: form fields from the Forms toolbar, ActiveX boxes from the Control Toolbox toolbar, and characters from certain symbol fonts (see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm). If they're form fields, this macro will delete the checkboxes (but not other kinds of form fields). Sub DeleteCheckboxFormFields() Dim ff As FormField For Each ff In ActiveDocument.FormFields With ff If .Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then .Delete End If End With Next ff End Sub Another way, without a macro, is to press Alt+F9 to display all field codes and then run a Replace All to replace the expression ^19 formcheckbox with nothing. This could also be incorporated in a macro, such as the one you use to remove hyperlinks. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I think the problem is that the downloaded check boxes aren't the same as the ones Word can put in. I wish I knew how they were put in then I could delete them all without using the longer method I've worked out. I highlight the sentence or paragraph for each box one at a time(without the box) then cut & paste them in the same order above or below them. When all the writing has been transferred, you can highlight all the lines that only have the boxes left in them and delete them all at once.
