MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2008Forms
Hi, I have Word 2007 in the Vista operating system. I have a doucment with check boxes and fields. I need to have the checkbox so that I only need to click in it to make it checked. I don't want to have to open a separate dialog box and choose "check box" as there are a lot of them in my document. How do I go this? >Hi, >I have Word 2007 in the Vista operating system. >I have a doucment with check boxes and fields.

On the Review tab, click the Protect Document button and choose Restrict Formatting and Editing. Under Editing Restrictions, check the box and choose "Filling in forms" in the dropdown. That will make the check boxes active. The drawback, if you're not familiar with protected forms, is that you can't edit anything except the form fields, unless you unprotect the document. Read http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22 for information about protected forms. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
