MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2007How to Create a check box in a Word Document that is not a Form
I have a Document that is not a locked form that I would like to add check boxes that act like the check boxes .in the Contemporary Fax Template. You can check and uncheck by clicking int he box If you are using Word2007, read this quote "Jay Freedman wrote: No, Microsoft is definitely _not_ working on "fixing" this because they don't think it's "broken". What they're doing instead, starting with Word 2007, is providing content controls that do much the same things as form fields (plus a lot more) but don't require the document to be protected at all. Protected forms will eventually fade into the museum of dead features. Unfortunately, in this first pass they seem to have forgotten to include a check box type among the content controls." > I have a Document that is not a locked form that I would like to add check > boxes that act like the check boxes .in the Contemporary Fax Template.

Word 2007 does still have check box form fields for protected forms, and the macro-driven technique used by the fax templates and discussed in http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm still works. It's just that there isn't a check box among the new content controls, so you can't completely replace protected forms with unprotected content controls. -- 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. >If you are using Word2007, read this quote >"Jay Freedman wrote: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> boxes that act like the check boxes .in the Contemporary Fax Template.

This has been driving me CRAZY! I finally found a solution! I had created a form with check boxes before 2007. Soooo I just copied that box and pasted it into my new 2007 doc - it works! Don't understand why it's not in the ribbon hidden somewhere, but there's the solution! > I have a Document that is not a locked form that I would like to add check > boxes that act like the check boxes .in the Contemporary Fax Template.
