Inserting a Symbol and Text into a Bookmark

[Lee Kiwiflame]

I want to insert a 'tick" symbol into a bookmark and then add text after the
tick symbol.

The user will tick a checkbox and if the checkbox is true, then I want to
insert the symbol and text into the bookmark. If the user ticks 3
checkboxes, then I want to add a tick symbol then text, then a tab, tick
symbol and text, then another tab and another tick symbol and text.

Can you do the same with a variable? I did have the area set as an
ActiveDocument.Variables but couldn't work out how to do it with that. I
then changed it to a bookmark.

Can anyone please help urgently?

Where are the checkboxes that the user may or may not tick?

Take a look at the Checkbox template available at

The checkboxes are on a userform.

Take a look at the Checkbox template available at

Unforunately, I cannot download .zip files.

Thanks

About the only way that I know to insert a tick symbol using code is to
create and autotext entry that contains the Wingdings symbol for the tick
that you want (in a box or by itself) and then use code to insert the
autotext entry.

In you case, in the template that contains the userform, I would create
autotext entries for each of the possible combinations of checkboxes being
ticked on the userform and then use code on the userform to determine the
appropriate autotext entry to be inserted.
