Check marks in a template/work doc

[Candy DB]

I am creating a performance review form and with each performance factor,
there are 5 levels of performance. I have put a checkmark box with each one
of the 5 levels of performance; however, a user could potentially check all 5
boxes. Is there a way to make each check box exclusive of the other 5 (like
when you check "I accept: or "I do not accept" with terms of use on forms).
Am using tables..and each one of the 5 check mark boxes is currently in an
individual cell within a row.

Thank you, Candy

It would be possible to write a macro in the template to handle that --
something similar to the one in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/ExclusiveFmFldChbxs.htm (except
that one explicitly does not work in a table).

But it would be simpler to replace each group of five check boxes with one
dropdown form field. Set up each dropdown with entries from 1 through 5, and
let the user choose the one that applies to that factor.
