Prev: square prints where text box is but ...
Next: Is possible to have Heading1 with 2 different Styles during 1 doc?
From: Stacey on 12 May 2010 13:59 Hello! We have a document (not a form) that we would like to use checkboxes in. This document has a couple of sections where it would be useful if the user could check if something is applicable. We can't protect the whole document. Thank you for your help! Stacey
From: Joanne Orzech Joanne on 12 May 2010 14:12 I actually used this feature in a form this morning. Although you don't say what version of Word you are using, you can access the Control Toolbox toolbar in Word 2003, or in Word 2007, it is on Developer tab. To show the developer tab, click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Word Options. Select Popular, and then select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" check box. There is a checkbox option which can be found there. No need to lock the form. Hope this helps.

From: Joanne Orzech on 12 May 2010 15:56 My apologies - I just noticed that the title of your question contained Word 2007... so use the toolbox on the Developer tab as indicated above.

From: Stacey on 12 May 2010 18:43 Thank you for getting back to me Joanne! If we don't lock the form, then in order to check the "checkbox" you need to double click (or right click and hit properties) and then change the default to checked. This can be quite cumbersome (and is what we do now). Isn't there a way to have a checkbox, but not use a form? Thank you!

Yes, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm. It still requires a double-click, but it's much more satisfactory than a check box form field incorrectly used. -- Suzanne S.
