Clearing Check Box

[Alex Martinez]

I am using MS Word 2002 and I have a check list consist of check boxes.
What I want to do is when the user finish printing the check list I would
like to have a command button that will clear out the check mark in the
various check boxes. How does one do this? Any help or tips will be
appreciated. Thank you.

I suspect that what you have is a document (.doc file) that you're
re-using over and over. That's not the way Word is intended to work.
The unfilled form should be stored as a template (.dot file), and then
new forms should be created by using the File > New command and
choosing the template. Each new document will automatically open with
all the check boxes cleared.

Just open your current document, go to File > Save As, and set the
file type dropdown to "Document Template (*.dot)". Word will
automatically change the folder for storing the file to the one where
all your templates should be. Give it a name and click the Save
button.
