Hi

I have a word doc with wingding checkboxes. How can I quickly convert
them all to Control Toolbox checkboxes (not form checkboxes)?

thanks

Hi Darius,

Copy a Wingdings checkbox in the document, paste it into "Find what"
(Ctrl+V).
Copy a Control Toolbox checkbox in the document.
Use ^c (clipboard content) in "Replace with".

Regards,
Klaus

thanks!! I thought I'd have to write a little script or something more
complicated.

Not this time, luckily :-)

If you're just getting started writing macros, try to do any stuff you think
might help -- with the macro recorder turned on (say, search for the
Wingdings symbol, insert a Control Toolbox checkbox).

You can then harvest usable stuff from the recorded macro(s), and add a bit
of logic (say "While .Execute ... Wend").
