I'm creating a form with "Summary" and "Worksheet"
sections. Does anyone know how to create "mutually-
inclusive" (if that's right term) checkboxes in Word
tables? That is, if a user were to check or uncheck a box
in the worksheet section it would automatically check or
uncheck a box in the Summary section? Once again, any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

Use the following code in a macro run on exit from the first checkbox

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = True
Else
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = False
End If
