Clearing the form

[Strobo]

Any cleaner/simpler way to clear all checkboxes than to using a loop to
clear them one by one.

I'm asking simply as I have a large number of them in a table and it takes a
very long time to clear them this way.

Thanks

The time taken for the following to run should not be significant

Dim FF As FormField
With ActiveDocument
For Each FF In .FormFields
If FF.Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then
FF.CheckBox.Value = False
End If
Next FF
End With

Yes, that is what I am currently doing.

But with over 600 checkboxes in the document it takes just over a minute to
clear them all.
I was hoping there is a 'friendlier' way

If the form is a template, or if you save it as a template (with the boxes
unchecked), it may just be quicker to create a new document from the
template.

True,

Which is why I'm just going to leave the 'Clear form' feature out.
I was just hoping that there is a way.

Thanks!
