I hope this is an easy one. I have added checkboxes to a document. However
the only way they work is if the document is protected. But if I protect it I
can't save it - it gives me a runtime error. Help!

Don't know about inability to save if it is protected. You've got some
macros running there, it sounds like. Ones that didn't anticipate a
protected document. There are a number of ways to create and use clickable
checkboxes in documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms,
others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.
