Hi There:

I tried to copy a section which has check boxes in front
of "urgen", " for review", and etc from the "Professional
Fax" document to another. When I double click a check box
in the original document, it inserts a check mark into the
box. However, the double clicking doesn't work anymore
for the ones that were copied and pasted.

Please help!

Thanks,
JT

You need to copy the autotext entries (Checked Box and Unchecked Box) and
the macros that set them (below) to the new template also

Sub CheckIt()
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("Checked Box").Insert
Where:=Selection.Range
End Sub
Sub UncheckIt()
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("Unchecked Box").Insert
Where:=Selection.Range
End Sub

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these. It shows how the checkboxes in the FAX templates work.
