Default Limit number of check boxes used in table

I want to limit the choices of check boxes in a cell to only 1 choice. A
Drop-down box is NOT an option. How can it be formatted to allow a user to
click on only one box among the choices.

Example: red, blue, yellow, black white. I want the user to choose only one.

Default Limit number of check boxes used in table

See the article "Making groups of Check Box Form Fields mutually exclusive
(so that they behave like radio buttons) at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...FmFldChbxs.htm

Instead of a Frame as is suggested in that article, you can have the
checkboxes in any .Range object, such as a table cell and then in place of
the following line of code

For Each oField In Selection.Frames(1).Range.FormFields

you would use:

For Each oField In Selection.Cells(1).Range.FormFields

Or if you had each check box in a separate cell in the one row of a table,
you would use:

For Each oField In Selection.Rows(1).Range.FormFields

Hope this helps.
