Hello,

In this template,there is a series of check boxes and only one would be selected at any given time, and a textbox where additional comments will be added. I have inserted objects (check boxes and a text box) - how to make it functional? In properties or in VBA subroutines?

Thanks -

See the article "Making groups of Check Box Form Fields mutually exclusive
(so that they behave like radio buttons " at:

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. Among other things, fields inserted using the forms toolbar work
only when the document is "protected for forms" under the Tools menu. For
more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
