Default How to create checkboxes with FILLIN

I'm creating a template with message prompts using FILLIN, but I'm not sure
how to prompt for a checkbox, or if that's even possible. Does anyone know
how to do it? I tried following these instructions from this site

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q95133/

but I can't seem to do it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Default How to create checkboxes with FILLIN

Sarah:

It works for me. Note that there are TWO fields, and thus you'll need to use
the Ctrl+F9 twice to create actual field braces rather than the typed-in ones
used in the example.

To use it, I entered it just as shown. When I press F9, I get a prompt with
the instructions. Typing an X results in a checked box. Typing a space
results in a cleared box.
