Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create combo box
within word document?
For example, how to create a list of options, and would like to create a
square box, if people click on it, it will display a cross for selected
items, and they can select more than one box at the same time.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create this features on word
documents?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric

Insert a Checkbox formfield alongside each item that you want the user to be
able to select.

In versions up to Word 2003 it is on the forms toolbar. In Word 2007 it is
on the developer tab (which is not displayed by default - Word Options >
Popular > Show Developer tab) in the Legacy Tools group.

Thank everyone very much for suggestions
I see the Macro coding, but I still don't know how to create a checkbox in
word.
I have tried to create a checkbox, but get no idea on how to work on the
macro coding related to this checkbox.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
Thank everyone very much for any suggestions
