I recently downloaded your script for the Toggle Objects Word 2007 add in,
and it works perfect, thanks.

My question is, is it possible to use this macro while protecting the
document at the same time. My client wants the document protected for easy
tabbing through the content controls, but I get errors then when trying to
check the boxes. Is there something I can do to tell word to let this run ?

Do I have a Toggle Objects for Word 2007 add-in?
Do you mean - the check box method at http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm
?
Why not use the check box form field available from the controls section

>legacy controls on the Developer tab of the ribbon? However if you add the

code to lock and unlock the form the macrobutton code will work in a
protected form

Sub CheckIt()
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
NormalTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries("Checked Box").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:=""
End If
End Sub

Sub UncheckIt()
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
NormalTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries("Unchecked Box").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:=""
End If
End Sub

Im sorry,. saw you link to this site from someone else thought it was yours,
lol. http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm That is the add in
im using, we have about 3000 documents using Content Controls and .docx
format now, its to my understanding that legacy controls will not work in a
.docx format. I will try the code you entered but as I have no programming
background might be a bit difficult. If you have any other ideas or
suggestions would be appreciated, thanks for the help.

The legacy controls work just as they did in earlier versions.
