I have set up a simple macro on my michine that just checks and
unchecks a check box. When I send the document over email it does not
work.

I think that there could be 1 of 2 problems. 1 my email server virus
scan disables the macros. Or 2 macros have to be enabled on the remote
michine.

How can I get a check box to work on a remote computer.

Could I just change the template from normal.dot to the fax.dot that I
stole the macro from to begin with?

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 is possible that your macros are not in whatever you are emailing out.
Usually macros are stored in templates, not documents. If you are not
sending the template, then you are keeping the macros with you.
