Forms in Word

[Guest]

Is there a way of "checking" a check box in a word form, other than double
clicking it, and altering the properties, this may confuse my form users?

To use a check box form field, you must protect the document for forms,
which then allows the box to be checked with a single click (or by pressing
Spacebar). But if you want a check box that can be used in an unprotected
document, see the page Doug referred you to or

These are protected form checkboxes. For them to function properly, the
document should be protected for forms. 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.
