How do i make check boxes interactive?

[Ed C.]

Here's the deal, i have to make a document that my boss can go through, and
check or uncheck boxes, sort of a survey deal. The thing is he wants it to
be fast and thus far all i know to do is to double click the box and select
it to default to checked. He wants to be able to just click the box and have
it filled or have the check removed

If you open the Professional Fax template, you will see such macro buttons
and you can view the underlying VBA code too. Quite simple.

When a doc has form fields (like checkboxes), they can be checked/unchecked
with a single click if your Protect the document for Forms (Tools - Protect
Document). The down side is, when a form is protected, it cannot be spell
checked, nor can user get to any of the areas of the doc except the text
fields, the checkbox fields, and the drop-down fields.

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.
