Check Boxes
How do you create a check box, I've seen them used before on Word doc's but
have no idea of how to set one up. I know on the ones I've seen used you can right click on them and select checked and it puts an X in the box for you. Just dont know how to add it in. Ideas anyone..... |

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do not. The one you refer to is inserted using the Forms toolbar, but should normally be used when the document is protected. Then you just click on it to check it. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration of the options available. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Forms toolbar, click check box! Unfortunately you have to "lock" the form for
the checkbox to function with an "X" by clicking/spacebar. This may or may not be appropriate for your application Pat "Sean" wrote: How do you create a check box, I've seen them used before on Word doc's but have no idea of how to set one up.

But, double-clicking the check box will breing up a dialog where you can
double-click checked or unchecked, which will check/uncheck it, and close the window. Pretty east to use, really. Pop -- Let someone else do it I'm retired! "patrick" wrote in message ...
