margins

[klav]

I want to insert a checkbox before the beginning of every line in a file and
not have the text at the end of the line change (i.e., wrap to the next
line). I am inserting the checkbox so the user can select a line but I want
to text on the line to remain as is.

I have tried inserting the checkbox in the left gutter and also modifying
both the left & right indents and left & right margins but no matter what I
do, the text at the end of some of the lines changes as a result of inserting
a checkbox.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Use a table with one column holding your checkboxes and another your related
text. 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.
