Greetings,

I have a document containing many tables that consists of 2 rows of text and
the third row is always split into columns containt checkboxes (of varying
quantities).

I then would like to have only ONE single checkbox to be selected per row
per table.

There is an odd exception where one table is really TWO tables combined i.e.
2 rows of text checkbox then two rows of text and checkboxes

I've examined the properties and can see a macro can be assigned to run on
entry and exit.
Also assume the bookmark is the checkbox field name??

Ive used excel vba but not at home at all with word vba.

Can anyone assist on how to do this or give me the starting point?

Thanks
Rob W

Very interesting thanks, very simple vba behind it too.

However, my checkboxes are in tables and its a four page document with lots
of formatting :-(

I will implement this method you linked too (shame about if use use keyboard
it all goes pear shaped) unless anyone else knows of another way which will
save me the time and headaches of changing my document ???

Thanks
Rob
