Check Boxes (can someone explain ...)

[Daniel P]

Hello

I am trying to duplicate the check boxes that are found on the profesionnal fax template but in my document. I have toggled the field codes associated with them and copied the vba coding behind them into my document but I still can't seem to get them to work at all. Could someone literally spell it out for me step by step?

From what I can figure out they are not controls... but I inserted field ... MacroButton ... Copied the CHeckit and uncheckit code...

I thank you in advance for your help with this one. It truely is appreciated

Dan

Just one little problem, the link you sent discusses the right subject. However, when I implement it, It works on my computer but when the document is transfered to another computer the check boxes no longer work?

How can I create these check boxes but so they work on a document that will be distributed?

Thank you for the help

Daniel

Daniel,

Sorry I only have a minute as I am leaving for a short, unexpected trip. I
suspect the problem is the checkit and uncheckit macros are not available on
the other computer.

Try storing the macros in the document. You can use the VBA editor to move
them from the template project to the document project or use the the
Templates and Addins>Organizer to copy the module containing the macros into
the document.

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 (including the method in the FAX templates).
