Linking word checkboxes together

[Guest]

I've got a file that has 4 check boxes from right to life, let's name them:
1 2 3 4

when i click on 3, it gets checked, however i want 1 and 2 to be checked as
well.
if i click 2, it gets checked, however i want 1 to be checked also.

in otherwords, i'd like the checkboxes to be linked together. Could anyone
help me with this? I do not have experience in VB so any suggestions with it
would need some explanations.

Thank you

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/ExclusiveFmFldChbxs.htm. It shows
how to turn off certain checkboxes when another one is checked. It is
possible that you could use the same method if you can group them.
Otherwise, you will have to name each checkbox (in the checkbox properties)
and use an on-exit macro to match the value of the other checkboxes to that
of the checkbox you just left.

If there is only one checkbox that will be checked first in your grouping,
you could use the macro for replicating checkbox values found in the
download file at http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn.
