Hi,

I'm trying to get check boxes to appear in Word that don't require you to
right click and then select "Checked." Is there a way to get check boxes
that you can simply left click on right on the document to go from checked to
un-checked?

Thanks, and Best,

Tony
 
If you're using check box form fields, you must protect the document for
forms before they are enabled. For another approach, you can use the type of
MacroButton check boxes used in the fax templates supplied with Word. See

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/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.
