Make check boxes mutually exclusive
Hi,
I'm interested to know hhow to make 2 or more check boxes behave mutually exclusive to one another. For example, I have a Yes/No question and one check box for YES and another for NO. How can I make it such that if I check YES, then the box for NO automatically becomes invalid for clicking? That means, only one of the check box can be selected. Thank you! |

I don't believe you can in Word unless it can be done programmatically.
The effect you are looking for can be obtained by using Option Buttons from the Control Toolbox. Be aware that these are Active-X Controls, so if this is a web form they may not work in most browsers other than IE.

In general, you can use the technique shown at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...FmFldChbxs.htm. For your specific example, don't use two check boxes. Use one check box, and word the question so that a checked box means "yes" and an unchecked box means "no". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
