I am new to this. Typically I use Word for very very basic stuff (Word is an
end user thing and I'm a programmer so don't use it much...)

A user created a form that includes check boxes. They came to me when no one
could figure out how to actually check the check box. I discovered that the
form was in "design mode" and that by clicking on the "design" button, it
took the form out of design mode - thus enabling the user to click the check
box. However, when the form is saved and opened again, it is once again in
design mode - meaning the user has to uncheck the "design mode" button each
time they open the form which is a pain in the a_ _! How do you set up a
Word doc so that by default it DOES NOT open in design mode???

Thanks,

Brad

When I create a form in word, I always protect the
document by opening up the forms toolbar and clicking on
the "lock" icon.  Then when the reciever gets it, they
can simply check the boxes, or type in the form fields....

In Word move your mouse anywhere in Menu right click your
mouse and you will get a list. Choose Forms and a small
tools will appear. In order for the checkbox to function,
you need to protect your form.
Hope this will help.
