I created an Outlook form with yes/no checkboxes. The
checkboxes look great when viewed on the screen, but when
I print the form, the checkbozes all read "Checkbox1: 0"
and "Checkbox2: 0" and so on instead of printing the
label next to the checkbox and "yes" or "no" depending on
which checkbox is clicked. Can anyone tell me how to
print the form so that the Checkboxes print peoperly?

0 and -1 are the values Outlook actually stores, so that's what it prints.
See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm for various solutions to
the limitation that Outlook forms don't support WYSIWYG printing. The Word
template technique is the most flexible and highly recommended and can even
print actual checkboxes.
