Check boxes
I have read a lot of the posts and done what has been suggested but when I
try to insert a check box it just gives me the {checkboxform} or whatever words are inside the brackets and nothing else. What is the problem? |

Okay. I did alt+F9 and it changed that into a check box but then I couldn't
put anything inside it. What I want is for this document to be something that can be filled out on the computer and then emailed to someone as a completed form. "Suzanne S.
